From the label“Someone has to pull the late shift at the North Pole. Someone has to count the bolts, fix the sleigh runners, and keep the toy line moving while everyone else is laughing and enjoying a beer. That someone is the Bitter Elf. He's not mad at the season... he's mad at the schedule. So while the other elves clink mugs and call it an early night, he reaches for a proper pint: a classic British Best Bitter with a steady malt backbone, a tidy bitterness, and a crisp, workmanlike finish that doesn't mess about. Because when you're stuck closing the workshop again, you want a beer with character. Malty, not salty. Best Served Cool Not Ice Cold”
