And the winner is...

Faith | Northern Monk
Northern Monk’s flagship Faith is a tribute to beloved hops, in particular the unique US variety Citra. It has been their go-to Core range pale ale for over four years and has been with them for the long haul! Faith is all about achievement and positivity. Whenever they’ve got something to celebrate at the brewery, it’s a cold can of Faith that they all crack open. This has been a huge year for Northern Monk, and this beer symbolises what can be achieved when you have a little Faith.
