A traditional bitter – copper in collour, and using a blend of only the best British hops. Subtle in flavour with a slightly spicy note.
Skinners: Betty Stogs (4%)
She’s brazen, golden-hearted and more than a little fruity! Betty Stogs has been flying the flag for Cornish ale since we unleashed her in 1997; if only we knew then the things she’d get up to…
Three Sods: Boho Bitter (4.1%)
It’s so hard to find an exciting new bitter these days. Our BoHo Bitter is a classic English style, heavily dry-hopped with Belma and Wolf for a modern twist.

Big Smoke Brew: Solaris: (3.8%)

– CIDERS –
kentish pip: discovery (still)(6.2%)
Discovery has an unmistakable soft floral aroma like no other apple. Think strawberries and peach with a light, fresh acidity.
kentish pip: forager (sparkling) (4%)
A taste sensation packed full of juicy, hedgerow berries, and bursting with the flavour of the countryside
kentish pip: high diver (sparkling) (4%)
A mighty blend of Cox and Bramley apples get together to form a luxurious medium-dry , lightly sparkling cider. Fresh acidity and aromatic fruity character transports you to the Kentish farm where the apples were picked by hand.
kentish pip: wild summer (sparkling) (4%)
Elderflower Craft Cider infused with pollen and nectar from wild elderflowers picked on our farm and the surrounding countryside. This light and super refreshing summer cider make your pallet sing. It’s a zingy uplifting drink not too sweet and lead by the subtle but unmistakable taste of real elderflower.

Small batch from the archives. It’s big and full. Just off dry, rich and complex.
– Waiting in the wings –
St Austell: Proper Job (4.5%)
A powerfully authentic IPA, Proper Job is brewed with a blend of imported American hops. It is a real treat of a beer with a growing reputation and is loved by beer enthusiasts far and wide. Perhaps the forerunner of all modern IPAs in the UK!
Kent Brewery: Prohibition (4.8%)
A citrusy pale ale, highly hopped with some of the latest US hop varieties
Bath Ales: Gem (4.1%)
We wanted to make an ale that feels as familiar as walking into your favourite country pub. So we used traditional British malts and balanced the soft fruits and bittersweet caramel with a soft, smooth bitterness.
Hop Back : Summer Lightning (5%)
An extremely pleasant bitter, straw coloured beer with a terrific fresh, hoppy aroma. Probably the beer to receive the most awards in Britain!
Hogs Back: TEA (4.2%)
An enticing amber colour with a hoppy and slightly fruity aroma. We use the finest English malt carefully balanced with local Fuggles hops. This is gently fermented to leave some of the natural malt sugars, to give a full and satisfying flavour with a long, dry finish.
