False Nine

To celebrate the football, we have created the perfect golden ale to enjoy while watching the game. False Nine is a refreshing, lightly hopped golden beer created with a fusion of fragrant hops.

The beer is named after a tactic in the great game…but do you know what a False Nine is?

A false nine is a centre-forward who repeatedly moves towards the ball in deeper positions from a high starting position, often dropping to receive centrally. The main intention is to get on the ball away from the opposition centre-backs – and, in doing so, to draw players out of position and disrupt the defence.
