Hatchet is a Session IPA from Buxton Brewery, the independent Derbyshire-based producer that has been crafting characterful beers since 2009. At just 3.4% ABV, Hatchet packs surprising depth: bright citrus hop aromas featuring grapefruit and lime, balanced by a subtle, biscuity malt foundation. It proves that lower alcohol need not mean compromise on flavour.

Built from global hop varieties and premium specialty malts, Hatchet is positioned as the ultimate outdoor all-rounder—light enough for multiple servings yet flavourful enough to hold your interest. It sits at exactly half the strength of Buxton's flagship Axe Edge IPA, maintaining the iconic hoppy character in a more sessionable form.
