ON DRAUGHT
We have a great selection of local, national & international beers & ciders on tap. See below for our draught selection. Subject to availability of course. Click the arrows on the right to scroll through.
A complex and characterful lager from the Brewers Project that's made with Guinness® yeast and Irish barley.
There is a very pleasing sweetness; honey and light lemon, some notes of ripe pear. No crisp snap to this finish the taste lingers, almost amusingly, long into the aftertaste.
This sophisticated Belgian beer has a well-balanced flavor profile — pleasantly bitter with a refreshing finish — that makes it extremely versatile and a great pairing for dishes from around the world.
Strongbow Dark Fruit, a refreshing cider with fruit, cut with blackcurrant and blackberry.
A mellow, easy drinking ale brewed with a little crystal malt and a lot of Goldings hops. Nothing flash, just a very decent malty body and a balancing hop flavour.
An easy drinking, refreshing IPA. Fresh dry hop and herbal character is provided by the mix of Challenger and First Gold hops. The use of crystal malt in the grist gives a satisfying toffee/caramel note and the addition of a little black malt adds just enough astringency to give a clean dry finish.
The rich amber hue of PIMM'S No. 1 comes from infusing lots of lovely gin with herbal botanicals, caramelised orange and delicate spices.
Southwold Bitter is a beautiful copper-coloured beer, late and dry-hopped with Fuggles for a distinctive, lingering hoppiness.
