What’s a polypin?
A polypin contains fresh cask beer ready for pouring and drinking! Ideal if you’re having a party and require more than a few bottles of beer. Hobsons brewer’s fill Polypins to order, so we recommend ordering for delivery Thursday / Friday if you need the beer for the weekend. Store the polypin somewhere cool, once opened the beer should be consumed within 7 days. Simple instructions are printed on the polypin box.
Old Prickly is bottle-conditioned, creating a gentle carbonation and natural sediment.
