I love the way that the craft beer industry in the UK is so small and local that the names of the beers are completely baffling. This one is from Verdant and totally delicious, but what the heck does the name mean? Apparently, according to the owner of Verdant, this name relates to a chap (called Roy) who frequented the early taproom down in Penryn, Cornwall who was always preaching the merits of "Toyota, Hilux" vehicles. We can only hope that Roy liked this beer, I can honestly say that I love it but I'm not interested in a Hilux, does that count?
