Introducing Wolf of the Willows 'Brownie Bomb', a decadent English Brown Ale inspired by the legendary Lumos Bakery’s cult-favourite pastry. Crafted in collaboration with Lumos for GABS 2025, this beer captures the irresistible combination of a croissant-meets-brownie hybrid that’s as indulgent as it sounds.
We started with a classic English Brown Ale base, layering in rich, bready, pastry-like flavours using freshly baked pastry offcuts straight from Lumos’ ovens. Into the whirlpool went premium dark chocolate, followed by a generous dose of organic cacao nibs, creating a luscious chocolate character throughout. The result is a full-bodied, smooth beer with decadent brownie notes, balanced by a subtle sweetness and a gentle bitterness, yet remains effortlessly drinkable like a traditional English Brown Ale.
