A little rebellion is a good thing 1917 is living history in a bottle. It is quite simply a beer created around a very special yeast - this yeast was last used commercially in St Petersburg in 1917 just before the Tzar was shot. So fittingly we approached local Guildford band Subsource - who are known for their revolutionary spirit - and together we brewed this beer - called 1917. Subsource were so inspired by this that they've also gone on to produce a track called 1917 which you can download for free using a QR code on the label In any case after all that you might also be wondering what it tastes like? It has a clean taste some maltiness and for a 7.4% beer it is smooth and goes down remarkably easily.
