Core Brews

India Pale Ale
Brewer’s Notes: Our classic British IPA contains 100% locally grown hops. This golden, amber session IPA is clean drinking and shows the classic caramel and toffee characteristics, balancing the orange marmalade bitterness and citrusy notes. A dry medium body with a classic spicy, grassy hop finish. The overall impression is a full flavoured easy drinking beer. 4.2%ABV . 50 IBu

Translation: Not your average India Pale Ale, our UK session style (go ahead have a few) strikes a perfect balance between malt and hoppyness. The sweet toffee character is offset by the spicy citrus marmalade flavours you’d expect. Our adaptation of the 1927 UK recipe is made using 100% county-grown hops from “pleasant Valley Hops” giving this classic English style beer a uniquely county twist. 


Dry Irish Stout
Brewer’s Notes: On the palate hints of dark roast coffee and dark chocolate are at the forefront with a tangy note of blackcurrant for a slightly tart and dry finish. Hop presence is very low and in balance with the bitterness of the dark roasted malts. 

4.2% ABV. we find this is best drunk at around 8C. 25 IBU

Translation: this is a shockingly light and refreshing stout. Hints of chocolate and coffee with a creamy mouth feel make it the perfect drink and dessert. 


County Kolsch
Brewer’s Notes: Wheat and pilsner form the base malts along with local hops, a slightly lower than average ale ferment and the traditional cold rest give the subtle elements of stone-fruits, juicy pineapple, and clean, slightly peppery finish. A pleasant brioche note runs throughout with some citrus and stone fruit on the nose. Low to no hop presence and a crisp finish make this an easy drinker. 4.5%ABV. 20 IBU

translation: Think of this as the “Prosecco” of beer…crisp and perfect for patio sipping. Our unique take on the classic style is pleasant and light with hints of peach and apricot leading to a slightly spicy finish. Pairs well with summer.


Pilsner
Brewer’s Notes: This Pilsner is a cold fermented light golden beer with a clean white head, a light to medium body and is always lagered for a minimum of 21 days. light floral malt profile, hints of dried grasses melding into a soft bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth and light, with clean, rounded finish and a pleasant white pepper element adding subtle complexity. The nose has a light malt forward sweetness and peppery graininess. 4.2% ABV. 21 IBU

Translation: Crisp and refreshing, this is the thirst-quenching reward you want after helping a friend move or a long bike ride in the sun. This is the perfect addition to any BBQ as it pairs extremely well with everything from fresh veggies to burgers. 


ESB (extra special bitter)

Brewer’s Notes: Based on the classic unfiltered Extra Special Bitter, this beer has a medium body with a clean, dry finish. Its flavour profile is balanced malt sweetness against the hop bittering. The profile is low. On the palate it shows caramel notes with a nutty middle and has a slight dark fruit and jamminess finish. Our ESB is best served a little warmer (10-15°C). 5.2% ABV. 32 IBU 

Translation: Don’t let the word “bitter” scare you, its British for pale ale! Based on a classic unfiltered ESB, this beer has a medium body with a clean dry finish. Just the right amount of sweet and salty. This is the perfect around the fire nigh cap, the flavours really come out with a little warmth. 10-15 c is the pub perfect drinking temperature.
