BLACK IRIS BREWERY

Sabbath Double Dark Mild

Black Iris have teamed up with Abyss Brewing to spawn this dark beauty! This beer has a deep, complex malt base featuring Maris Otter, Light Munich, Torrified Wheat and a variety of crystal malts for a robust nutty flavour. With the addition of invert sugar No2 and a 2hr boil the caramel notes have developed even further. Hopped entirely with English whole leaf varieties, Challenger and Bramling Cross, they’ve really pushed the hedgerow berry character and the spicy, bitter finish.

BREWPOINT

Anchorman

A modern, fresh and fruity cask beer brewed using a blend of contemporary English ingredients with American late-hopping. This blockbusting beer begins with a gentle malt sweetness, leading to a lingering, bitter finish.

The story behind the name… Josephine is the unsung hero of our story and the love of Charlie’s life. In the same way, he was her ‘Anchorman’. Charlie is central to our brewing story, a dependable family-man with a visionary outlook. With Josephine by his side, the wind was in his sails and a family brewing business became firmly anchored in Bedford. Well

The brewery’s flagship – “a hearty and well-rounded beer.” Mid amber colour with a rich butter-toffee aroma. Fruity and slightly nutty. Premium quality pale ale malt, with an extra proportion of crystal malt, and increased hops, gives this beer its renowned ‘nutty’ flavour and punch. Very much a cruiserweight, it catches up with you unawares! First brewed in 1982, the beer takes its name from the numerous beech trees synonymous with the area.

ENVILLE ALES

Simpkiss Bitter

Simpkiss Bitter was previously brewed by J P Simpkiss & Son in Brierley Hill as Simpkiss Ale. Sadly, the Dennis brewery closed in 1985 but is warmly remembered by older drinkers in the West Midlands. A taste to remember and one you won’t forget. That’s why Enville bought the recipe!

HARVEY'S BREWERY

Pells Pale

Pells Pale draws its name from the Sussex word ‘Pell,’ meaning a large body of water. Sussex Spring Water, which also nourishes the local Pells Pool Lido and beauty spots in Lewes, is a defining element of Harvey’s beers. This exceptionally pale ale combines Motueka and UK hops to deliver delightful citrus aromas, a gracefully fruity palate, and a subtly bitter finish, making it the ideal sessionable choice. Hop-forward, flavourful, and light, Pale Ales are versatile and easy-drinking. Pells Pale blends UK and New-World hops with heritage Plumage Archer Malt, embodying modern Pale Ale expectations.

Steady the Ship

Vibrant gold with subtle notes of orange zest in the aroma, a good balanced bitterness which showcases the hint of resin often associated with Columbus hops. Deceptively sessionable for its ABV.

Donated by John Myerscough

NETHERGATE BREWERY

Suffolk County

This local favourite (local being The Mermaid in this instance!) is a chestnut-hued tribute to traditional craftsmanship, brewed in Long Melford. By utilizing the soft, mineral-rich water drawn from the brewery’s private Stour Valley well, Nethergate have created a deep, biscuity profile that balances perfectly with the subtle spice of Fuggles and Challenger hops. Reliable, rich, and staying true to their 1986 origins, it remains the definitive taste of a proper, honest Suffolk bitter.

Donated by The Mermaid

NEW RIVER BREWERY

Lost River

Sometimes described as one of London’s “lost rivers”, the New River glides silently into London, often hidden from passers-by, particularly where it tunnels beneath the streets. This delicately dry hopped, pale straw coloured beer is, similarly, wonderfully discrete and easily swallowed up, so the name is a perfect fit!

Donated by The Ver Valley Society

OAKHAM ALES

Inferno

A light golden beer with a big personality, bursting with fruity hop flavours, citrus notes and a refreshing finish.

First brewed as a seasonal special in 2004, this marvellously refreshing beer joined the Oakham core range in 2008.

Certified gluten free & suitable for vegans

Brewed with 100% Citra hops that create aromas of mango, apricot, grapefruit & mandarin orange, along with a lasting, juicy, tropical fruit bitterness, the Baby-Faced Assassin is a deceptively drinkable India Pale Ale that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

SKINNER'S BREWERY

Betty Stogs

With whole-flower Celeia, Northdown and Aurora hops alongside malted barley and wheat, this is a Cornish twist on a classic smooth-drinking bitter. The light malty aroma leads to a floral, cedar taste, and a sharp tang of bitter grapefruit leaves a lasting impression; just like Betty herself… The Queen of Cornish Ales!

STRANGERS BREWING

Lone Goose

Named after the single white goose who lives on Linlithgow Loch, LONE GOOSE is an ale with bags of personality. Dry-hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe and Bramling Cross, this golden ale has citrus and berry notes with a hint of tropical fruit and a crisp finish.

STRANGERS BREWING

New Shoots

New Shoots is named after its not-so-secret ingredient; the fresh tips from larch, spruce and pine trees, gathered in the spring and added to the beer. Young conifer tips give fresh grassy and citrus notes (as well as light piney, resinous flavours), and these align beautifully with the American hop varieties we’ve used. Wonderfully quaffable in the sunshine.

This beer is brewed with barley malt, but has been crafted to remove any gluten present in the finished beer. Independent testing shows that the beer is verified gluten free.

THORNBRIDGE

Kipling South Pacific Pale Ale

Kipling was the first UK beer to use the exquisite Nelson Sauvin hop from New Zealand. We brew this as a SMASH (Single Malt and Single Hop) using the heritage Maris Otter as a base malt which really works to allow the complex flavour of this hop to really shine through. There is a grassy, grapefruit character on the nose, followed by passionfruit and mango. It finishes with a balanced and thirst-quenching bitterness.
