A new limited run of Young’s Waggle Dance is being made available from today, marking the brewer’s 194th anniversary.
With Young’s being a pub company these days, the beer has been brewed by Simon Perrett, head brewer at the King Street Brewhouse, in Bristol.
Made with pale ale and crystal malt, Waggle Dance is infused with raw honey harvested from bee hives at fellow Young’s pub, the White Bear, in Kennington. Blended with hops to add subtle character and balance the bitterness, the end result is a 4% ABV golden ale with honey and caramel notes.
Named after the dance a bee makes to tell its hive about a source of nectar, the special beer is making its return for a limited time only at 24 Young’s pubs, to celebrate the group’s anniversary.
“Bringing back the honey-based Waggle Dance felt like the perfect way to mark Young’s 194th birthday,” said Simon. “Part of the pub group’s brewing heritage, this beer is iconic in its unmistakable sweetness, which comes from specialty malt extract and all-natural raw honey.”
Alongside Waggle Dance, Young’s Pubs will be celebrating this milestone anniversary with parties and festivities, including a complimentary pint of Young’s available to all its On Tap app users and a charity donation drive to raise funds for children’s rugby charity, Wooden Spoon.
