Amstel 1870

Amstel

In 1870, our brewery was founded by two friends in Amsterdam. They brewed a new, Bavaria-style lager beer that became an instant favourite. Our classic, golden Amstel Beer, with its very distinctive and mildly bitter taste, has over the years become well known beyond the borders of its native country.

Birra Moretti

4.6%

Heineken

Birra Moretti is a quality beer made in the traditional way. It is the result of a production process that has remained almost unchanged since 1859. It is a bottom fermented beer with a golden colour. This colouring is a result of the type of malt used in brewing. Its alcohol content is 4.6% alcohol by volume. It is not a strong beer and is therefore perfect for drinking at lunch, at dinner or for evenings out with friends

Corvus Stout

4.1%

Wadworth Brewery

Corvus breaks the rules of stout, it is the result of a passionate endeavour to brew the best black beer, which has been perfected over time. It’s evocative with a familiar rich, deep ﬂavour, contrasted by an unexpected light body. Looks almost black, served chilled with a thick creamy head. Distinctly smooth with a subtle aroma of roasted malt and coffee, followed by a creamy bittersweet finish with excellent drinkability

Cask Ales

Horizon

4.0%

Wadworth Brewery

Wadworth’s own pale golden ale with citrus and hop aromas makes this an ideal choice especially when served cool. A great beer for those new to ale, it’s brewed with Pale Ale malt and four hop varieties. This is an easy drinking yet full ﬂavoured golden ale created using a blend of classic and New World hops. A great beer with food or savoured on its own. Its zesty citrus aromas overlay a heart of classic hoppiness. The zesty notes follow through on the palate backed with a light maltiness and the ﬁnish is crisp, tangy and refreshing.

Beer

Henry’s IPA

3.6%

Wadworth Brewery

The main staple session ale, our IPA is an easy drinking all-round ale and is ideal for any pub’s session drinkers. It is light copper coloured with delicate malt aromas, cereal notes and a lingering ﬁnish. This is a traditionally crafted India Pale Ale with a malt-led ﬂavour and character. On the nose, our IPA provides a delightful malt aroma. On the palate it delivers clean and refreshing light malt notes combined with the classic strong hop ﬂavour, and ﬁnishes with a crisp bitterness.

Beer

Dirty Rucker

3.9%

Wadworth Brewery

A bold English ale, fruity on the palate with a malty sweetness that leads to a peppery note for a smooth finish. A great beer to enjoy while watching the six nations.

Beer

Swordfish

5.0%

Wadworth Brewery

A full bodied, dark copper coloured ale infused with Pusser's Navy Rum. A nose of gentle rum notes with a warm hoppy edge. This is a full bodied ale, with a rich smoothness and caramel overtones from dark, unrefined sugar and a rounded hop finish.

Beer

Jaipur

5.9%

Thornbridge Brewery

Packed full of American hops, Jaipur’s hoppiness builds in the mouth and bursts with powerful citrus fruit flavours with a remarkably smooth finish. The fantastic balance of this beer makes for a deliciously drinkable IPA. Citrus, Honey, Hoppy

Beer

Juicy

4.8%

Tiny Rebel Brewery

Be transported by this, the most delicious golden ale, filled with the juiciest hops we could find - offering nearly as many mouth-watering flavours as those countless sweetie jars stacked high above your head years ago. So moreish, so tasty, so JUICY.

Beer

Baby Faced Assassin

6.1%

Roosters Brewing Company Ltd

Brewed with 100% Citra hops the Baby-Faced Assassin is a deceptively drinkable India Pale Ale that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Be careful or it might sneak up on you! Aromas of mango, apricot, grapefruit & mandarin orange, along with a lasting, juicy, tropical fruit bitterness.
