Operation Mayfly 26
Coming to your local craft beer hotspot on Friday 22nd May is OPERATION MAYFLY 2026 KEG and CASK. Every May, since 2019, we brew, package, distribute and (finally!) drink Operation Mayfly. The hops and participating venues may vary from year to year, but the mission remains the same: have as many pubs, bars and shops across the UK simultaneously pour the beer.
For the 2026 version we’ve chosen a dry hop trio of Idaho 7, Strata, and Citra. Expect a smooth mouthfeel, and aromas and flavours of stonefruit and citrus.
Grab a pint of Operation Mayfly, find sun, drink fresh! Scan the QR code to win prizes!
