Premium Cornish Bitter | 4.5%
The Brew
Maltier than most and slightly darker in colour, Figgy’s Brew is an expertly balanced premium bitter. A smooth blend of Target, Northern Brewer, and Willamette hops provides gentle bitterness with layers of earthy spice, black tea, and subtle floral notes that perfectly complement the sweet malt backbone. Expect rich chocolate hints with a clean, satisfying finish. Named after the infamous Land’s End wrecker Madgy Figgy, this is a beer built on Cornish character.
The Story
Madgy Figgy, a wrecker, was one of the best known of the St. Levan and Burian witches. On the dramatic coastline at Land’s End, at a place known as Tol-Peden-Penwith, there can be found a pile of granite stones which became known as Madgy Figgy’s Chair. It was from this precarious seat that she would cast her wicked spells to whip up tremendous storms and then, using the light of her lantern, lure ships on to the rocks and sailors to their death. Once the ships were wrecked Figgy and her cronies would loot the bounties, often to be seen dressed in fine clothes and jewels. Local tales say that during storms, a light can still be seen on Madgy Figgy’s Chair!
