On the Bar Right Now Today's Tap List
Mash Gang
Chug
0.5%Our flagship hazy IPA designed to be our ultimate low ABV session beer. Light and easy to drink, fully pasteurised for a longer shelf life, and stable at ambient. A top tier hop list, Kveik yeast, and a unique high temperature fermentation process brings complex flavours, without being overbearing. Hops: Galaxy, Citra Incognito, Citra Spectrum, El Dorado, Amarillo and Vic Secret.
Vocation
Crush Hour
4.6%A laid-back, easy breezy pale ale. Crisp and light with just a spritz of juice and gentle haze, it's constantly crushable, hour after hour. Hazy, fresh and easy. Vegan friendly.
Vocation
Hilltop Lager
4.3%A crisp, refreshing lager inspired by our hilltop location. Easy drinking with citrus notes - the ultimate thirst-quenching reward. Vegan friendly.
Verdant
Helles Lager
4.8%Our interpretation of a Munich Helles is softly malty, smooth and rounded with a tiny flourish of herbaceous hop bitters on the back end. Sessionable, clean and very very moreish. Hops: Hallertau Mittelfruh. Gluten free and vegan friendly.
DEYA
Steady Rolling Man
5.2%Inspired by the ridiculously tasty hoppy beers we fell for, we got brewing our own versions, over and over again, while listening to the blues greats. The heady concoction of old time blues records and juicy American hops transfixed us from the start and the rolling man was born in these sessions! Incredibly soft and delicate with intense tropical fruit hop aromatics and saturation, this is our vision of the perfect pale ale.
Left Handed Giant
Radler: Sicilian Lemon
2.5%A light and fragrant pale ale base, delicately dry hopped and blended with our Sicilian lemonade. Expect a sweet, juicy dose of lemon, mellow bitterness and a thirst-quenching hit of zest to finish. A summer smasher perfect for the park, pub or patio. Vegan friendly.
DEYA
Steady Rolling Motueka
5.2%We kept the base recipe true to Steady Rolling Man. From mash in up to the end of fermentation. We then substituted the Steady dry hop charge for 100% Motueka hops. Hopefully you can get some aspects of Steady peaking through. But the spotlight is on Motueka in all it's limey glory. Limes limes limes! With some accompanying layers of other sweet citrus and juicy stone fruit. Vegan friendly.
Electric Bear
More Passion, More Energy
4.5%Exactly what it says on the tin, a full throttle, fruit-loaded sour built to wake up your palate. Loaded with heaps of passionfruit to push it to the edge of sharp and tart, hitting hard with a bright citrussy snap before rolling into those juicy tropical waves of flavour. It's mouth-wateringly good, super refreshing and a proper lip-smacker. Vegan friendly.
Just Pressed
Blindside
4%Bittersweet cider, gently carbonated with a distinct apple nose and a softly hidden sharpness on the palate.
Independent & Independent-Minded Breweries We Love
We're passionate about working with independent craft breweries that share our commitment to quality. Three breweries that regularly feature on our taps are Vocation Brewery, DEYA Brewing Company, and Verdant Brewing Co. — all producing exceptional craft beers that we're proud to pour.
Vocation Brewery, based in the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire, are known for bold, full-flavoured beers brewed with real care. Their IPAs and pale ales are among the most consistent and well-regarded in the UK craft beer scene, and they're a firm favourite with our regulars in Lichfield.
DEYA Brewing Company, based in Cheltenham, have built a devoted following for their hazy, juice-forward IPAs and pale ales. Their Steady Rolling Man is one of those beers that converts people to craft — soft, tropical, and endlessly drinkable. If it's on the bar, order one.
Verdant Brewing Co., based in Penryn, Cornwall, have developed a near-cult following for their hazy, soft IPAs and pale ales. They brew in small batches and their beers sell out fast — when we have Verdant on, it never lasts long.
Beyond these three, our eight keg lines feature a constantly evolving selection from some of the best independent breweries across the UK. We're always on the lookout for something new, whether it's a limited release, a seasonal special, or a brewery we've just discovered at a beer festival.
Eight Rotating Keg Taps What to Expect on the Bar
With eight rotating craft keg lines, there's always a broad range of styles to explore. On any given visit to WIP in Lichfield you might find:
- Pale ales and IPAs — the backbone of any great craft tap list, from session-strength pales to big, hoppy West Coast IPAs
- Lagers and pilsners — craft-brewed lagers that are a world apart from the mainstream
- Stouts and porters — rich, dark beers that come into their own by the fireplace in autumn and winter
- Sours and wild ales — for the adventurous; tart, complex, and always interesting
Because the list changes so often, the best way to see what's on is simply to come in. Our staff know every beer on the bar and are happy to walk you through what's pouring — whether you're a seasoned craft beer drinker or trying something new for the first time.
Everything You Need to Know Beer Questions Answered
