The Old Guard & The Wild Card

A legacy ale and a jester’s gamble walk into a pub…

The Old Guard & The Wild Card 

A classic. A challenger. Two sides of British brewing.

Meet the perfect pairing of tradition and innovation — a duo that celebrates heritage while embracing the future of flavour.

6X – The Old Guard
Brewed to the same recipe since 1923, 6X is the hallmark of rich, full-bodied English ale. Smooth, balanced, and deeply satisfying, it represents everything great about time-honoured brewing.

Hopfoolery – The Wild Card
Lighter, livelier, and brewed with British Jester and harlequin hops, and regenerative malt, Hopfoolery brings a fresh twist to the table. Floral, fruity, and forward-thinking — it’s a modern pale ale with roots in sustainable farming.

The Old Guard & The Wild Card brings together two distinct perspectives — one grounded in legacy, the other looking ahead. Proof that great beer doesn’t have to choose sides.
