This pale ale is light in strength, big in flavour, but don't let that fool you - Comet and Mosaic hops bring a lively punch of citrus, melon and a hint of tropical flavour with a crisp malt base.

Timothy Taylor

4.3% ABVCaskGolden / Amber

A classic pale ale with an amber hue, it opens with a complex citrus and fruity aroma, delivering a full but smooth malt body with a touch of sweetness, followed by a lingering, gentle bitter hop finish that keeps it refreshing. Brewed with Golden Promise malt, whole-leaf Goldings, Fuggles, and Savinjski Goldings hops, and pure Knowle Spring water, Landlord is crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality.

Best Bitter

Black Sheep

3.8% ABVCaskGolden / Amber
Tasting Notes:

Amber gold in colour, brewed with whole flower English hops, Best Bitter packs a genuine spiky bitterness with big character. Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops blend to create a beautiful aroma and flavour with kicks of grassy freshness and a big peppery punch. The Maris Otter malt offers a light sweetness that balances against those big bitter characters.

White Rat vs Thornbridge Peak Rat. Pale ale with a smooth, malty baseline compromising of Munich and caramalt, leading into tropical and citrus notes from a blend of Citra and Mosaic. Clean and pithy bitterness balanced against a soft, biscuity backbone. Expect pineapple and mango aromas followed by peach and grapefruit on the finish. Collaboration with Thornbridge Brewery.

A session-friendly mild. An amber coloured beer with subtle soft-fruit notes and delicate hop character that give it a smooth, mellow flavour. The clean malt profile is the best expression of Golden Promise barley and keeps the beer balanced and refreshing.

Trip Hop #10

Ossett

4% ABVCaskPale
Tasting Notes:

Pale ale hopped with Galaxy, Enigma and Mosaic. Neither Engima nor Mosaic are used in our core line up, so this is a bit more "out there" but still shares the well-known Ossett Brewery taste. Where hops are being reused, we've adjusted when they're added - either in the whirlpool or dry hop - to maximise variety across the series.

Electric Boogaloo

Electric Boogaloo

Tiny Rebel

4.5% ABVKegGolden / Amber
Tasting Notes:

This little New England Style IPA has all the haze and hops you love but with the addition of passionfruit that cranks up the aroma and mouthfeel to 11.

Neck Oil

Neck Oil

Beavertown

4.3% ABVKegPale
Tasting Notes:

A light and zingy go to IPA. Extra pale base malts are used to keep it crisp and give the hops a great platform to dance on. Masses of hop additions during the whirlpool and a huge dose of dry hops make this a brilliantly 'easy' IPA. Hops: Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe, Amarillo, Galaxy, Vic Secret and Mosaic. Vegan friendly.
