Current Real Ales

Innocence - Plain Ales - "With the purity and sublimity of summers days past, Innocence is an ale with which to relax, an ale to be savoured, an ale around which to weave memories. Touched by the delicate fragrances of the scorched earth yet with the citric crispness and freshness of a woodland stream this golden straw coloured beer refreshes and revives, elevates and aspires. It is without doubt its simplicity and delicacy that gives this ale its unpretentious grace, a real innocent in a world of lost souls."

Best Bitter (Traditional IPA) - Palmers Brewery - "A full-drinking, well-balanced beer with a delicious hop character, brewed with classic English malted barley."

Sharp's Own - Sharp's Brewery - "Taste Notes from Head Brewer Stuart Howe: "Rich roasted and malty notes are key to the aroma of Own with some light hop tones. The mouthfeel is one full of malty sweetness complimented by a good measure of hop bitterness. The finish which is sweet and malty is lingering but not satiating. This is a product packed with flavour.""

Oyster Stout - Arbor Ales - "The multi-award winning Oyster Stout is brewed with ten different grains, including oats, wheat and a few specialty malts. Fuggles, East Kent Golding and Bramling Cross hops are added during the boil along with fresh oysters, shells and all, during the last fifteen minutes. A smooth chocolaty stout that leaves you wanting more."
