We’ve all been there. Especially in this new era of working from home. You’re chatting away and wondering why everyone is staring at you with a slightly confused, blank expression on their face. To those who’ve been left red-faced, scrambled for the un-mute button – this one is for you.

You’re On Mute! is a brand new hazy DIPA from Yorkshire-based craft brewer, Magic Rock. In homage to the numerous video calls we now call ‘the new normal’, it’s one to add some magic to those virtual Friday night after-work drinks. Just remember to un-mute, yeah?

Oh, and no hangover because the beers are all less than 0.5%. READ MORE
