Welcome to the first in a new series featuring the current favourite beers of Beer Hawk staff. First up is Ellie who chooses Magic Rock's High Wire Grapefruit
Hey,
I'm Ellie from our customer service team and I'm kicking off a new series featuring the current favourite beers of Beer Hawk staff.
My favourite beer at the moment: Magic Rock Hire Wire Grapefruit
Why I love it: It's one of the first beers from Magic Rock I tried and it made me fall in love with the brewery!
I always end up going back to it if I don't know what I want to drink. It's light and refreshing, it's got that grapefruit/citrus kick but it's not overpowering.
Some fruit beers can be sickly and this one is perfectly balanced. It’s the kind of brew you can drink anytime, anywhere. It is is a super refreshing beer. In fact, I love it so much, I managed to persuade the buying team to give a great offer too!”
About the beer: Magic Rock Hire Wire Grapefruit is a West Coast IPA charged with extra grapefruit. I also love the new eye-catching can design.
On the nose, the beer is deliciously sweet grapefruit, more like the pink or ruby kinds. A solid bitterness helps balance the sweetness too and the dry finish carry on for what seems like forever!
This multi-award winning beer is one of the best beers out of one of the best breweries in Britain and gets a whopping 92/100 on the rating site RateBeer. I'd give it 100, but hey!
Buy it now: If you want to see why Ellie (and half the Beer Hawk staff it seems, love it), just head over to this link now: https://www.beerhawk.co.uk/magic-rock-high-wire-grapefruit

Every year, Beer Hawk releases a lineup of limited edition craft beer mixed cases for the holiday season. This year's lineup of festive Christmas beer gifts is guaranteed to put a smile on everyone’s face.
Remember the childhood excitement of opening a new door on your advent calendar every day in the run up to Christmas? It gave each day a little sparkle of festive magic, even though those tiny chocolates behind the doors were always a bit rubbish. How would you like to recapture that childhood magic, but with bottles of delicious beer instead of powdery chocolate? Sounds amazing, right? In that case, you need to get your hands on our Craft Beer Advent Calendar.
Pairing beer and food together isn’t all rules and science. That would make for a terribly boring dinner party! Instead, it’s the art of taking a good beer, some good food and partnering them together to make something even better. It’s the adventure of discovering what works, what doesn’t and what you like. It’s you taking a bite, taking a sip and then declaring your undying love for that imperial stout and chocolate cake.
Barrel-ageing beers is not a new thing, but it is getting more and more popular, and has probably never been as inventive. Adrian Tierney-Jones explores the new wave of ageing beer in wood
While some so-called off-flavours can be appropriate in certain styles others are not and may kill a little bit of your soul. Here's a quick guide to the most common off-flavours.
