Hawke’s Black Lager looks like it should come with a knife and fork, but drinks so easy it’ll be gone quicker than your turn on the pool table. With roasted malt, a whiff of coffee, and a hint of chocolate, it’s the kind of beer that lets you look like the toughest bloke at the bar. Except for that old lady over there, who’s already on her second.

Dark in colour, light on its feet. Roasted malt brings a touch of coffee and chocolate without the sweetness, while a crisp body and lively carbonation make it the rare dark beer built for warmer months. Smooth bitterness, clean fermentation, and a rounded roast finish mean it drinks easy, looks tough.
