Real Ales / Cask-Conditioned Beer

We pride ourselves on our selection of regularly changing local Cask-Conditioned Real Ales, all served by gravity direct from the cask.

Our selection of Real Ales change on a week to week basis, however we usually have on a selection of cask ales from the Isle of Purbeck Brewery, Dorset Piddle Brewery, Palmers Brewery and Sharp's brewery.

We also have 2 pint containers/hoppers available so you can take home a selection of draught cask ale to enjoy. If you are a member of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale), please submit your scores/rating for the beers you had when you visited: National Beer Scoring System.

We are proud to have been awarded the East Dorset CAMRA's "Rural Pub of the Year" 2010!

This was last updated on 19th December 2011.

Ale Of Wight Goddards Brewery 3.7% ABV \| 2.1 Units per Pint An exceptionally aromatic pale beer, originally brewed with long summer evenings in mind, but now available as a year-round session beer. Drinking lager is no excuse for bad taste when this stunner is on tap!	Piddle Dorset Piddle Brewery 4.1% ABV \| 2.3 Units per Pint Piddle is light and refreshing and, at 4.1% is easy drinking. Crystal clear and amber in colour, it offers a pleasant balanced bitterness witha citrus twist.	Best Bitter (Traditional IPA) Palmers Brewery 4.2% ABV \| 2.4 Units per Pint A full-drinking, well-balanced beer with a delicious hop character, brewed with classic English malted barley.
Dragons Blood St George's Brewery 4.8% ABV \| 2.7 Units per Pint Chocolate and crystal malt combined to give a ruby red coloured beer with a hint of chocolate. Brewed using fuggles and styrian Goldings, blended for an earthy and slightly spicy aroma.	Inndulgence Plain Ales 5.2% ABV \| 3 Units per Pint Like bolts of satin and velvet, Inndulgence wraps the body in luxury and comfort. Centuries-old traditions and lores have helped to make this dark ruby porter as sublime as the winter solstice and as sensual as the stones over which it presides. The taste buds are flooded with the pleasures of winter: hot chocolate, toffee and a lingering reminder of autumn past with the last berries and dark warming 'coffees with a shot' around the bonfire. Sit back, relax and indulge!
