Little Creatures reimagines The Dreadnought

Winter is coming and we’ve been busy at Little Creatures tinkering with a beer based on an old favourite that will help you through the cooler months. Return of the Dread is our first-ever seasonal release; a Domestic Extra Stout now available on tap and in pack.

Well-known for producing short-run batches of beer, our brewers wanted a new challenge and so set out to create a serious brew that would last the entire winter. For the first seasonal release, we couldn’t resist playing with one of our first Single Batches; The Dreadnought.

Always ones to break the mould, our brewers took inspiration from the old favourite and developed the recipe into their own style of beer. With six speciality roasted malts coupled with our classic pale malt and a good dose of Fuggles hops thrown into the mix, Return of the Dread is a dark, black, formidable yet smooth stout, balanced with a pronounced bitterness.
