£3.50
Our green hop beer for 2026, Sword's Point is a 4.6% pale ale with a story rooted in the heart of Canterbury.
East Kent Goldings, Canterbury White Bine, Bramling Cross and Early Prolific hops bring floral and citrus flavours, with aromas of spicy marmalade and mandarin.
The story behind the name
2026 marks 40 years since the Altar of the Sword's Point was installed in Canterbury Cathedral. Created by sculptor Giles Blomfield in 1986, it represents the four swords used by the knights who assassinated Thomas Becket in 1170.
Located on the wall above the spot where Becket was slain, it was the cathedral's first new altar in 448 years. A spotlight casts a striking shadow across the wall, revealing all four swords.
A little Canterbury history, with this year's hops in your glass.
4.6% ABV. 500ml bottle.
