IN THE CELLAR
We have a wide range of real ales from a variety of sources that we offer. You will find that we change our range frequently and you will be able to keep track of it all here.
Amstel
abv: 4.1%
Golden & Refreshing
Amstel Beer is brewed and bottled by Amstel Brouwerij in Amsterdam/Netherlands and has an alcohol content of 5% vol. According to the Amstel website, Amstel beer is pure-filtered which creates a full-strength beer without the calories and carbohydrates. The beer is brewed primarily from light-colored pilsner malt and has a pleasant flavour with a mild bitter taste after the gulp
Carlsberg Lager
abv: 3.8%
Pale & Refreshing
Alc Vol: 3.8% Carlsberg is light, easy drinking and refreshing. The
all malt recipe and Carlsberg yeast strain gives a balance between body
and depth of flavour, making Carlsberg the ideal choice for any
occasion.
Carlsberg is a Pilsner style lager originating from Copenhagen,
Denmark. J.C Jacobsen, our founder, brewed Denmark's first ever pint
using a yeast that became the basis for many modern-day imitations. In
fact, almost all modern-day lagers are derived from the original yeast,
Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis, used to brew Carlsberg.

Charlie Wells Dry Hopped Lager
abv: 4.7%
Golden & Hoppy
Our Master Brewers have poured the company's 139 year heritage into crafting a new lager, using its founder's roots travelling the world in the Merchant Navy as inspiration. Charlie Wells Dry Hopped Lager is brewed with natural mineral water from a well sunk by Charles Wells himself in the early 1900s and the brewers combine several varieties of hops from around the world to create the beer's slight bitterness, hoppy aroma and subtle maltiness with a deliciously smooth finish.
Brewed in true continental style, we use 100% malt in the mash and add in Target hops followed by a late addition of Styrian Goldings to add that really noble hop aroma. We ferment the beer cool with lager yeast for seven days, and what makes this beer really special is a two week cold conditioning stage with Australian Galaxy and Ella hops which brings out all that depth of flavour and dry hop character.
Slight bitterness, hoppy aroma and subtle maltiness with a deliciously smooth finish.

Stowford Press Cider
abv: 4.5%
Golden & Refreshing
A truly medium dry cider taste. Light, refreshing and fruity.
Stowford Press is Westons Cider’s most popular brand, with its
quaffable appeal. The medium dry cider is produced using the finest
quality ingredients, which are cold filtered and slowly matured to
develop a light, refreshing, bitter-sweet cider with a fruity character.
The amber-coloured cider has a ripe, fresh aroma, bursting with apples.
Westons Cider was established in 1880 to make traditional cider the
way people want cider to taste. Stowford Press cider is lovingly
produced in the Herefordshire village of Much Marcie for over 130 years
Strongbow
abv: 4.5%
Golden & Refreshing
The tasting: Deep golden in color, crystal clear, with light effervescence. Fairly straight forward aroma of sweet apple. Flavor is apple, no surprise. Strongbow is a dry cider, but it has a moderate level of sweetness. It's actually nicely balanced—not too sweet and not too dry. I like some sweetness in cider, but can't handle too much. In the middle and finish, a nice tartness kicks in. It's light bodied and alcohol isn't noticeable in aroma or flavor
Youngs Bitter
abv: 3.7%
Golden & Refreshing
A refreshing ale, golden in colour, with a light, dry palate, a fresh, fruity aroma and a long, satisfying bitter taste.
