Rope Slider | The Shropshire Brewer
ABV: 4.4%
Style: Pale Ale - English
Actively Produced
Description: A premium pale ale based on the finest pale malts complemented by three hop additions. The sweet malt and the bittering hops balance harmoniously while the finishing hops provide a lingering flavour of citrus & spicy goodness on the palate. Robert Cadman (1711-1739) was known as the 'Icarus of the Rope' and, sadly, he met a similar fate to the mythical Greek aviator. In 1739 he arranged for an 800ft rope to be anchored in the ground on one side of the River Severn in Shrewsbury while the other end was attached to the spire of St Mary's Church on the opposite bank. He successfully walked up the rope, then he donned a grooved wooden breastplate and endeavoured to slide down the rope. The rope snapped - it did not end well!
