Very very exciting times.

This is something we’ve been awaiting for quite some time. And we’re all revved up and ready to go for our first beer brewed onsite at our arch in Windsor. Introducing…
LET'S GO!
🌌 NEW BEER UNLOCKED 🔓🌓
Hot on the heels of Frozen Moon, our brand new lager, is Darkside Of The Frozen Moon.
This dark lager approaches Bock territory at 6.6%. The secret level once you’ve completed all the other lagers. Rich and roasty, and a real achievement, we think.
🚨Huge news everyone. We've had delivery of our first ever commercial beer!
The
@AmpersandBrewCo
collab which Alex and Dave went up to brew in May has been kegged, canned, and is now available at
@ahoppyplace
and to trade directly from Ampersand.
NEW BEER ⚡️🌈
Light splits and colour flourishes. Food for the mind and the spirit. Liberally dry hopped with Motueka, Citra and Amarillo. Zingy and Tropical. Always drink Spectrolium.
Pouring at the taproom ALL WEEKEND. 💖
Our Oktoberfest party last night was amazing
Fest, our kolsch style lagered beer is tasting amazing and many maß were consumed.
A wonderful lagery time.
Packed from start to finish and our busiest ever night.
Prost!
Waking up to a 24 keg order is a pretty nice way to start the day.
Stay tuned for our beer turning up around London town some time soon and more info to follow
Tomorrow marks the first pour of our SECOND beer!
The Mantle is the largest part of the Earth's interior. Mantle is *our* core pale ale.
Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe dry hop bring huge passionfruit, plus orange and lemon citrus character to this zingy, incredibly pintable pale.
NEW BEER! 📣🌴🏖
Which coast is the best coast? The coast with all the bitterness.
The Mob Has Arrived is a 6% WCIPA dosed with a hefty Centennial, Cascade and Chinook dry-hop for the notes of citrus and resin we all adore and a piney finish against a rich caramalt smoothness.
HERE YOU GO, JOHN! 🌼
The Rabble's first mild is making its debut at the taproom this weekend. Dark chocolate and roasty notes with a smooth velvety body (sparkled, of course), subtle toasty bitterness and dark red fruit for the perfect springtime pint. Here you go, John.
TAPROOM NOW OPEN 🍻🪿
And better than ever!! Also pouring our latest release on keg only, Loosey-Goosey!
This is the Mob's first American Pale Ale. Columbus, El Dorado and Citra bring citrus and tropical notes to this punchy session pale. Pintable and chaotically moreish 🪿
🍺 COLLAB NEWS!
Our first collab was with the superb Ampersand Brew Co in Diss, just a short train ride from Norwich.
Alex and Dave went up to brew with Andy and his team, and wow - what a site they have. What a brewery.

❤️🍺
Ever in Chester? GO TO THAT BEER PLACE.
Ever *near* Chester?
Drive to Chester and then GO TO THAT BEER PLACE.
We had a brilliant night. And that Herne the Hunter in my hands is foreshadowing the less than ideal morning but I'd do it again in a heartbeat 😅
FRIDAY'S TTO WITH
@indierabble
WAS A BLAST!
Huge thanks to Dave & Charlotte for making to trip to Chester. So bloody ace to meet you all!
An ace night sampling some really great beers from these guys new brewery based in Windsor. Some can & keg left so grab it quick! 🍺
ANOTHER NEW BEER! 🚨 A bit of chaos, a soupçon of havoc...
TINY VIOLENCE is our first in-house dark beer. It's bold and rich, and it demands you drink it now. Roasted dark malts convey intense cocoa powder flavours and evoke memories of your favourite decadent chocolate truffle.
Well well... The cat is out of the bag.
We've done some pretty cool collabs in our short life but brewing with
@pollysbrewco
is easily the highlight to date. 😍
Out in January as part of their 6th birthday and pouring at
@ahoppyplace
as well as our tap.
Are we... are we good?
5th - Windsor newcomers Indie Rabble. We've been huge supporters of owner Dave Hayward's endeavours at A Hoppy Place that we couldn't say no when his new brewery came calling!
Horizon Scan plays off our collective love of all things West Coast for an easygoing, modern WC Pale.
Please RT!

It's tasting stunning.
We had so much (too much?) fun last night -- amazing to have such lovely beery chats with everyone, and a massive massive thanks again to

Dave and Naomi are off to Leeds to party with
@Tartarusbeers
, but we're very much holding the fort down in Windsor! The taproom is open *all weekend* - expect good vibes, tasty beer, and friendly faces behind the bar. 🍺❤️
RABBLE VICTORY PARTY 🍻🏆
In case you hadn’t caught on, we’re absolutely over the moon with last week’s win. So much so, in fact, that we’re keeping the party going next Sunday with a Winner's Party so we can celebrate together!
Our newest collab has arrived! Available at
@ahoppyplace
for now and all good indies from this week. On draught when we open our doors in about a month's time.
It's a very, very tasty thing. We're so proud and so thankful to
@BrewYonder
for inviting us down to brew.
We've had a wonderful weekend enjoying our first release, Let's Go! - a hazy pale that we're immensely proud of 🥰 your positive responses make us so happy.
This weekend, though, we are celebrating all things crisp and bready 👇🏻👇🏻

Tired after a long week, seeing this sign made me kinda emotional 🥲
Very much looking forward to this evening! 🍺

Hey
#beertwitter
We're working really hard to find new indie venues interested in our beer.
Does your local have untied lines or aware of somewhere that _should_ have the UK's best new indy brewery (officially like ;-) ) on their wall but doesn't?
Give em a tag! Help us out!
Just had about a 10 minute debate with myself about whether to stick an exclamation mark on the end of a cheers or not, in a sales pitch email.
Went with the !
Pray for Indie Rabble.

NEW BEER KLAXON 🚨 It’s a Zebracorn! 🦓🦄👠
This beauty pours a thick hazy yellow with heaps of sweet stone fruit character, a touch of pineapple zing and bags of body.
Citra and Idaho 7 bring you a NEIPA that just begs to be drunk by the pint while fantasising of warmer days.
Legendary sister in law and tremendous human being Hannah has made us our first batch of beer cakes!!
This is a chocolate and espresso cake made with our
@Tartarusbeers
collab, and everyone at the taproom has loved it 😍 recipe coming soon!!
NEW BEER! ⛷️
The mob are currently out of the office with no access to email. Or, this Cascade and Tango west coast IPA.

Dave adds: "I’m incredibly excited to have pulled off the collabs we’ve arranged. Hoppy’s reputation has enabled me to speak to breweries I never dreamed I’d ever get to brew with. Our first 8 beers are going to be absolutely spectacular."
Our latest Collab, Dabble, from local legends
@stardustbrewery
is live on the
@ahoppyplace
website from noon today.
A lovely dry stout. So easy to drink.
Rounding out our launch lineup very well.
And the final beer release will be next week.
FROZEN MOON 📌🧊
Brand new and pouring at the taproom all weekend: it's our newest beer!
Do you want to drink a tasty lager with plenty of Munich, Cara and Rye malt to add a light spice, sweetness and biscuit to Noble Hallertau bitterness?
Good. Because you are here. 📌
For now, you’ll have to continue to watch this space. Get signed up to our mailing list and follow our socials, we’re
@indierabble
on everything, and we’ll see you for a beer down at the Arch some time soon.
Cheers

🔴 ROUTE ONE 🔴
Sometimes, straight forward, done well, is all you need.
Route One is our very first cask ale, a no-messing English Bitter. We've been very excited about this, and it launched this weekend at the taproom to excellent feedback.
Absolutely fantastic to have so many of our beers up with these lovely people.
And thanks to
@Big_Fat_Dan
for his support both in getting us set up to sell, and for years supporting
@ahoppyplace
- wishing you all the best in your next role mate!
Now people, buy our beer!
@Rob_Edwards90
Cheers both! Glad you enjoyed. Pomona absolutely knocked the brief out the park with this and we loved the brew day.
If you liked that, we are also very proud of our first on site brewed westy. Big Jaipur vibes, plus or minus some candied orange 😊🍺
What a weekend 😍🍺
We had such a blast at our first Oktoberfest event - and having all three of our first in-house brews on tap at the arch was a proper pinching-ourselves-moment.
Our GLASSWARE has landed!
As modelled by Naomi at
#gbbf
yesterday.
To get one before general sale, or, to get big beer tabs at our launch, PERMANENT discounts and more, you've just 7 days left to check out our Crowdfunder!
Please RT / tell a friend!
It's time for our first joint event on the Windsor Beer Mile: 7th Oct we party Prince Ludwig style!
Being neighbours and avid fans of German lager tradition, it was a no-brainer for us to team up with
@two_flints
for a larger than life OKTOBERFEST! 🍻🥨🌭
What a fantastic lineup to be a part of. Not only our Darkside on deck but also what HAS to be now the last keg of the
@ahoppyplace
Torrside collab (and my favourite beer of last year).
And just "many" of the very best UK and EU breweries we're keeping company with.
Wow.
Thank you
@fermentradio
Emma 😊
Our first west coast "the mob has arrived" is a drier, slightly less sweet version of this kind of thing and a beer I'm very proud of.
As much as all the reviews are coming in so far for our neipas, it's the beer I'm most proud of 🍺
I know I’m very late to this party but I MASSIVELY enjoyed this

@PomonaIsland
West Coast IPA last night. Absolutely perfect!
Looking forward to tasting more Indie Rabble stuff in the near future.
Immaculate vibes at the taproom this evening!! 🍺❤️
Join us every weekend for more of the same:
Thursdays, 5-10
Fri 4-10
Sat 1-10
Sun 1-6
And be sure to keep an eye out to see what brilliant street food vendors will be down at the arches each week!
Cheers!
TAPROOM OPEN ☀️✨️
It's a bright and breezy afternoon, almost beer garden/trestle table weather...? 😅
Certainly time for a beer though, and what better than a crispy foamy drink by the UK's Best New Independent Brewery 😉🍻
@Beervana
@PeteBrownBeer
@PomonaIsland
@GeorgetownBeer
@BoneyardBeer
All super interesting. It should be worth noting that as well as Pete's pic being a touch dark, this beer had a hit of Rye which definitely lowered the tone so to speak.
The beers you point to, and 'my first' still being Sierra Nevada, though, that's what I mean. What I want.
@IndieRabble
What I am tasting here is out of the cold store from Maidenhead but my god you can tell this ticks every box.
Malty, chocolatey, Coffee’ey (is that a word?). I want to have this on cask NOW! Very excellent work Alex.
🍺 NEW BEER! 🦀
Crabricorn is 3rd in our series of magical New England mashups. Featuring Mosaic and Vic Secret, expect a huge tropical flourish from everyone's favourite sidestepping friend.
Snip snip snip.
Pouring now at the taproom and available in cans! Open until 10pm 🌊
The arch is open every week Thurs-Sun for tasty pints and good times, pouring our launch collabs and a selection of guest brews (+ some lovely soft and/or non-beery choices)!
Very soon we'll have our in-house brews pouring for all of our enjoyment, but more on that later... 👀
And lastly for today, our most recent announcement. This NEPA brewed with our brilliant next door neighbors on the best beer mile of all beer miles. The Windsor beer mile!
We reckon this is the beer we'll sell the most of. Brett is just so very good at nailing drinkable NEIPAs.
☄️ FROZEN MOON 🌕
A fresh batch of our core lager is out in can and keg, pouring crisper than ever! A slight biscuity undertone, a clean finish, sessionable and insanely moreish. 🍺
Taproom open from 5pm today, and cans available on our webshop!
