Of course it is. 

Unfortunately they don't ship outside UK, so I should try to make a detour next time.

"Old Prickly has been brewed to celebrate and support the work of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society based seven miles up the road from the brewery. We have pledged to donate 5p from every pint and bottle sold to the charity.

The snuffly hedge grog is a pale ale full of hop flavour and brewed with Columbus and Lubelski hops to give this beer a complex flavour of floral and citrus notes. Locally sourced Maris Otter malting barley is used to brew this beer which has become a firm favourite and permanent beer.
Bottle Notes - Old Prickly is a bottle conditioned beer which contains sediment, pour carefully and best stored upright at cellar temperature 10 - 12 degrees."

I had it on The Isle of Skye. Very herbal (unfortunately, I'm among those for whom cilantro tastes like soap).

I had to look that one up, and I may not be rushing to try it, but have no particular issues with it. Having enjoyed beer, whale, and rocky mountain oysters, my main concern would be with the sheep dung, but it is hopefully kept somewhat separate from the stuff to be ultimately consumed. More details here for those especially interested:  http://draftmag.com/icelands-dung-smoke ... icle-beer/

In the past we used to Ski in Norge a lot. I usually took out a bank loan to buy 1 bottle each evening for Ringnes for after-ski.
