OPUS POCUS – Arbor Ales colab

Introducing OPUS POCUS: A Modern English Pale with a Magical Twist

We’re excited to unveil Opus Pocus, a 4.3% Extra Pale Ale that perfectly balances time-honoured brewing tradition with a touch of modern flair.

We invited the legends from Arbor Ales—Ella, James, Sean, and Cameron—to join us at Hooky for a brand-new collaboration brew. The recipe and brewing process were a true joint effort, with the beer brewed here and the Arbor team on-site for the day—bringing their expertise and energy to create something special.

Built on a light, clean foundation of extra pale malt and torrefied wheat, Opus Pocus is crisp and refreshing. While the malt bill lays the groundwork, it’s the hops that really steal the show.

Basically “spring in a glass,” brewed using 100% English hops from Charles Faram. Featuring Opus, Jester, and Harlequin, highlighting the exciting evolution of UK-grown varieties, bursting with citrus, floral notes, and tropical fruit.
