I think that’s a pretty good Sheffield story.”Īsked to name her political heroes, she opts for Abraham Lincoln – the US president who passed legislation that abolished slavery.

It’s more accurately a glass of pineapple and mango juice with a hefty dose of coconut and nutmeg (remember, this is a dessert sour ale) with some fermented malt juice blended in.
