• Fonthill Lager

  4%

  

  Crisp and well rounded Bavarian-style lager.

  Vegan & Gluten free

• Band Meeting

  4.8%

  

  U.S. Hazy pale ale with fresh, fruity tones.
  Hazy, juicy, and citrusy. Band Meeting is our love letter to those big cloudy East Coast IPAs, minus the massive ABV. Look out for orange and grapefruit notes, with a touch of pineapple. Practically one of your five-a-day!

  Dedicated to anyone who has ever sat through a band meeting.

• Pedal Steel

  4.5%

  

  This tropical session IPA is a perfect summer thirst quencher.
  Fruity, zesty, juicy, and seriously drinkable. Think passionfruit, mango, and citrus hops, Pedal Steel really is our juiciest brew. If you like Tiny Rebel’s Tropical IPA, give this a go. We’ve been told it’s even better.

  Dedicated to the smooth sound of the Pedal steel guitar

• Inner City Pressure

  5.2%

  

  Hopped then dry-hopped with Southern Cross hops from New Zealand for citrus peel, pine, and subtle floral notes. Super refreshing.

  Inner city life, inner city pressure
  The concrete world is starting to get ya

Cask Beers

• Good Morning Captain

  3.9%

  

  Our award winning session pale ale (Beer of the festival, SPA Valley & CAMRA beer festival 2012). Brewed with Cascade and Amarillo hops.

  Light, bright, and brewed for long afternoons. Good Morning Captain is one of our most popular beers for a reason. It’s easygoing, but full of flavour. Expect a citrusy, hoppy flavour profile with just enough bitterness to keep things interesting.

  “Help me, ” he whispered, as he rose slowly to his feet

• Palimpsest

  5.5%

  

  A combination of 5 different hops provides a balance of bitter and floral aroma flavours in our stronger pale.

  It’s herbal and slightly spicy, with a dry, resinous finish. Flavour-forward without being heavy.

  Winter weather is not my soul
  But the biding for spring…

• Flame On

  5.8%

  

  Azacca and Magnum hops in the brew compliment the addition of mango late in the fermentation to create this particularly quaffable fruit infused beer.

  Possibly our most playful brew, Flame On! packs mango sweetness up front with a dry hoppy finish to round things up nicely. Fruited IPAs can be a bit full-on, but we’ve kept this one clean and drinkable.

  Refers to the direct application of heat during the boil of the wort, or to the practice of beer poking (heating a metal rod in a fire until it’s glowing red and then submerging it into a glass of beer, imparting a smoky flavor), but there’s nothing smoky about this gem – it’s all fire!

• Creedence

  4.6%

  

  Made with Crystal and Caragold malts for that rich amber hue and a touch of sweetness, this APA brings citrus zest and pine from the hops, balanced with a biscuity backbone. Full bodied flavour, bold without being brash.

  Left a good job in the city
  Workin’ for the man every night and day

• Best

  4.1%

  

  Traditional best bitter made with Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops and a touch of aromatic malt, this one’s all about balance. Earthy, nutty, and gently bitter. It’s a classic for a reason.

  Simply the best

• Where’s Me Jumper

  4.7%

  

  A seasonal special we brew this traditional porter for the colder months. We’ve made a few tweaks over the years, but were really pleased with the results last winter.

  Dark, comforting, and just the right amount of quirky, kind of like the name! Our session porter is made with a simple hopping schedule to allow those rich chocolate and crystal malts to come through. Smooth and warming, and perfect for crisp winter evenings!
