Handbook
I wanted the beer and the music to reflect one another. Beer is important to me. It's an important craft, it's an expression of creativity, and on a personal level, it's something that I can enjoy and relax with. I wanted the accompanying beat to be all of those things as well as
an example of what I'm all about, an expression of what I'm feeling in the moment, and something that I, and many others, can relax to.
Lord's Brewing Co
As lovers of chillhop, lo-fi a cold beer and sunny days, we had to work with Handbook. A truly nice guy who not only cares about the music but the people around him. For the ultimate summer beer, we just had to get him to join the team to make a belter.
Passion from the music in the beer Absolutely!
Handbook selected the hops and malt bill and came on brew day and got stuck in. It's jam-packed full of hoppy flavour, the clean crisp finish leaves you wanting more.

Pride Before The Fall
The name came as a half-warning, really. It's important to stay focused and stay humble. It's tempting to lose your way over ego, and pride can often get in the way of making the right decisions.
