Brassknocker (3.8%ABV)
A Golden Ale with a citrus aroma full of fresh lemons and spicy orange zest.
The mouth is filled with vanilla malt and left with
a long and satisfying bitter finish. An
easy-drinking “session beer” with a character that you will find
refreshing at any time of year. |
Brassknocker
|
| Bob Wall (4.2%ABV) A Best Bitter, chestnut-coloured with a subtle orange aroma combined with a hint of roast malt. It has a rich and complex malt flavour, with plum fruit qualities, which persist in the mouth and combine with its bitterness to provide a deep and satisfying finish. | Bob Wall
|
| Pit Head
(4.4%ABV) A dark reddish-black porter that draws you in with
a tempting aroma combining roast malt with classic English hops. Some initial sweetness gives way to a mouthfull
of berry fruit and roast malt flavours and a well-rounded bitter finish.
Originally brewed as our March special, but now permanently available. |
Pit Head |
|
40 Yard
(5.0%ABV) A Strong Bitter with a difference:
brewed with mild ale malt to produce a darker and more full-bodied ale.
It is rich with robust flavours of ripe fruits, caramel and roast malt
that give way to a long, dry and well-rounded bitter finish. The aroma
is a tempting mix of chocolate and blackcurrant notes provided by the
combination of roast malt and English hops. |

Davy Light (3.7%ABV) A low-gravity version of Davy Lamp, our popular April ale. Davy Light is a clear, pale gold wheat beer with a delicious aroma combining a delicate hop aroma with the tang of the orange zest and coriander that we add to this brew. |
February |
| Pit Head (4.4%ABV) A dark reddish-black porter that draws you in with a tempting aroma combining roast malt with classic English hops. Some initial sweetness gives way to a mouthfull of berry fruit and roast malt flavours and a well-rounded bitter finish. | March |
| Davy Lamp (5.0%ABV) A clear wheat beer, rich yellow in colour, brewed with the addition of coriander and orange zest. Coriander adds a delicate hint of spice to the citrus hop aroma and creates a deep and satisfying warmth in this ale’s mildly bitter finish. The tang of orange zest complements the wheat and barley malts’ biscuit and vanilla notes, producing a well-balanced and highly quaffable ale. |
April  |
|
Tims Bier (4.6%ABV) Pale amber in colour, Tims Bier is a Mai Bock-style beer, brewed with Munich Malt and a single variety of German hops. The juicy, biscuity Munich malt mingles with the fruity tang of the Tettnang hops to produce a gloriously refreshing springtime brew. |
May |
| Midsomer Pale (4.5%ABV) A copper-amber coloured pale ale, refreshing and light on the palate with a moreish flavour of biscuity malt. The combination of English hop varieties used in this ale provide both its delicate aroma and its well-rounded bitter finish. |

A full-bodied premium bitter, chestnut-red in colour, with well-balanced malt flavours and
the aroma of classic English Goldings hops. |
July  |

A Golden Ale, full-bodied yet with a soft finish and a delicately fruity German hop aroma.
Conygre Gold is the ideal summer pint - flavoursome and thirst quenching. |
August  |
| Honey Mine
(4.7%ABV)
Chestnut-honey coloured, this is a Dunkel Bock-style beer,
brewed with Munich Malt, German hops and plenty of added honey!
The honey is fermented along with the sugar produced from the malt, producing a clean yet full-bodied malty taste without excessive sweetness.
The aroma is a mix of fruity hops with warm honey overtones, which linger in the bitter finish. |
September |
| Berry'd Treasure
(5.0%ABV)
This is a true harvest special. Finest Maris Otter pale malt and hand-picked whole berry fruits,
such as blackberries and elderberries, are combined to produce this autumn gold-coloured beer.
The berry fruits mingle with German hops to produce a deliciously fruity aroma and a subtle sweetness
that leads to a soft yet full-bodied finish.
