This autumn we welcome an old favourite back into the Powderkeg family. “6ixes & 7evens” is a West Coast Amber ale, or at least that’s the closest recognisable description they can offer for this uniquely different beer. The name refers to the precise muddle of six malts and seven hops that go into building the […]
