Best Bitter

Delicious, easy drinking slightly tart pale bitter. Good malt feel in the mouth, dry, tangy fruit finish. Hop aroma with fruit notes.

Doom Bar

Sharp's Brewery
4% ABV | 2.3 Units per Pint
The aroma of Doom Bar is an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balance and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness.

Balanced malt & the hop presence lead to a pleasantly dry & clean finish.

Coming Soon...

Flack's Double Drop (3.7% ABV) by Flack Manor Brewery
A classic amber bitter with the full flavour of Maris Otter barley and the bitter citrus after tones of Sovereign hops.
Flack's Double Drop is named after the almost lost brewing method of Double Drop Brewing. It is a very quaffable ale that is well balanced, using locally sourced malt, produced at a very drinkable strength.
