George & Dragon - Set Menu & Community Night
Over at The George & Dragon, our country pub just minutes up the road in Swallowfield, the team are proud to announce a brand-new set menu, plating up incredibly wholesome and comforting dishes against the backdrop of the historic pub. Choose from two servings for £17.95, or three for just £21 – and you’ll even receive a complimentary drink on the house.
We’re also happy to have held our first community night recently, an event that will be held each month for individuals living in the local area to really bring the community together. To stay in the loop, be sure to subscribe to the G&Ds email mailing list for weekly, unintrusive updates.

Tap Yard - Summer Fayre
Thank you to all of those who made it down for our Tap Yard Summer Fayre this past weekend – another resounding success, and a fantastic opportunity for us to catch up with customers both old and new!

We’re always up for a party, and if you missed this fayre, you can expect plenty more events down at the brewery in the weeks to come – watch this space!

We’ll be serving up this delicious deal weekdays between 12pm and 3pm, and we look forward to seeing you down to discover our incredible range of moreish burgers.
Pachanga – 5.5% Mexican Lager
Pachanga is our latest beer release; a Mexican-style lager as crisp as it is clean, which bursts into life with a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice. To keep Pachanga as authentic as possible, we’ve used corn in the grist alongside the malted barley and wheat.
Pachanga is perfect for summer BBQs and parties of all occasions, and is available now online in 4-pack form. Keep cold, serve cool, drink fresh.
London Craft Brew Festival
LCBF kicks off this Friday, and we’re excited to see you down on the day! If you’re not familiar with the festival, it’s one of the largest craft beer festivals in the UK – and one that we look forward to every Summer.
Tickets are all-inclusive, and you’ll get to sample 800+ beers from over 100 breweries (including us!). Alongside the beer, you’ll be treated to plenty of food and music. Be sure to stop on by our stand for a chat – we’d love to see you down!

Swallowfield Show - Homebrew Competition
Every year, we absolutely love the Swallowfield Show. It's an amazing community event, enjoyed even more with a cold pint of Siren in your hand! This year, we're delighted to be managing a brand-new Homebrew Competition as part of their regular competition classes.
There are 3 different categories to compete for, with some great prizes on offer. These categories include best beer, best beer label (get creative!) and best beer name.
Click below for full details on how to get involved in this competition, and we hope to see you at the show!
Eleven Finger Discount
Next week, we’ll be releasing an exciting new addition to our ‘digit series’ (Ten Finger Discount, Middle Finger Discount, 10 Toe Discount, etc), first brewed in collaboration with To Øl in Denmark.
Eleven Finger Discount is a New Zealand IPA spun on cedar wood through our Spinbot, giving bright spiciness from the wood alongside punchy tropical notes from the Superdelic, Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron and Motueka hops.
We’re really excited for big IPA lovers to get this in a glass, so be sure to subscribe to our mailing list emails to be among the first to hear more.
Hard Lines Instant Coffee
We used Hard Lines coffee beans in our recent Stompin’ Grounds beer, a Red Ale brewed for our Project Barista celebration. Hard Lines have been a Siren staff favourite roaster for a long time now, and with the announcement of their new instant coffee, we’re all pretty excited.
The coffee is produced using a unique 22-hour freeze-drying technique that locks in the coffee’s freshness and flavour, preserving the quality and ensuring that every cup is as delicious as on freshly brewed.
Check out this and more from Hard Lines on their website through the link below, and click here to check out cans of Stompin’ Grounds.
Project Barista Roundup
Our coffee and beer celebrations continue online where you can purchase individual beers, can cases, a mixed case to try the set, and more! We’re incredibly happy with how all four of these coffee-based beers turned out, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on which editions you enjoyed the most.
These beers are best enjoyed fresh, as hops fade fast – don’t miss out on these limited coffee curiosities!
Stompin’ Grounds – 6.3% Red Ale
Our Red IPA melds hearty malt sweetness amidst pithy hops, elevated by a stunning coffee with tangerine and sherry notes.
Dry Bones – 6.6% Dry IPA
This IPA is bone dry, made with citrus-forward coffee, fresh orange, floral honey and the tannins of oak spirals.
Viva Patron – 8% Dark Ale
The Dark Ale incorporates tequila-soaked oak, agave syrup, intense espresso and Muscovado sugar for a coffee liqueur experience in a beer.
Mucha Mora Mocha – 9% Imperial Stout
Building on Mucha Mocha (no mean feat), this imperial stout is injected with coffee at every possible step of the process, swirling through rich, smooth cocoa.
