New Beers

We like to keep things interesting for us and for you by brewing a couple of new beers every month. When we say a couple well there could be two or there could be four, it really all depends how quickly you drink them! All of our new beers generally only come around once, so when it’s gone it’s gone. If it turned out to be extra special and you ask us nicely we may just brew it again, you never know.

We currently have the following beers available for May…

YOLO - 4.2%

A refreshing pale ale with a satisfying finish.

 

Cheeky Monkey - 4.4%

A pale golden hoppy beer with English, German and Polish hops.

Back To Black- 4.4%

What Dreams Are Made Of - 4.5%

 Brewers Choice

This is our new range of limited edition beers that first launched earlier last year. The special thing about these beers and what makes them ‘The Brewers’ Choice’ is that they are a little bit different to our usual beers as we try our hand at new things. These have proved to be very popular so far so get your name down now for the next lot.
