Hudson Brewing Mr Magoo Pale Ale

Working breweries are unfortunately no place for excitable dogs. It’s certainly the case at Hudson Brewing, where Mr Magoo – the beloved cattle dog of owners’ Richard and Sarah – has had to settle with a beer being named after him in lieu of running amok among the stainless-steel fermenters.

Mr Magoo – the beer, not the dog – is an approachable, easy drinking pale ale in the classic American style. A thwack of pine and citrus aromas are balanced with subtlety sweet malt body. A smooth but present bitterness that lingers for a little while leaving the drinking yelping for more.
