Beers & Ciders

Made in San Francisco with two-row California barley, Cluster hops (the premier hop in 19th-century California), and our own lager yeast, this all-malt brew is kräusened and lagered in our cellars. Its golden color, distinctive aroma, creamy head, balanced depth of flavor, and smooth finish make Anchor California Lager a delicious celebration of California’s unique craft brewing heritage.

This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It's quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. Arrogant Bastard Ale has revelled in its unprecedented and uncompromising celebration of intensity since 1997 and will never pander to the lowest common denominator. There have been many nods to Arrogant Bastard Ale…even outright attempts to copy it…but only one can ever embody the true nature of Liquid Arrogance.

American Pale Ale. Orange, Lemon and Floral aroma. Light malt, biscuit flavour with hoppy fruits and vanilla notes.

Dark and strong. Full of sweet malt character, toffee and liquorice. Chased along by a big hard hitting bitterness with blackberry, citrus and aniseed. The sort of beer to poke you in the eye and pinch your Christmas presents!

Platinum Blonde bitter. Citrus and pine nose, with a dry, crisp and hoppy taste.

Rich and sumptuous stout full of coffee character.

Smooth, golden bitter. Citra and Styrian hops give an intense citrus, tropical fruit.

Double Dry Hopped seasonal special. Amber hued beer with a light sweet note. Denali, Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra and Centennial hhops for big tropical flavour with hints of pineapple and soft pine.

A straw-coloured bitter which initially seems sweet, but a complex dry, hoppy taste soon predominates.

Probably the best example of the traditional Black Country style of bitter. No better partner to a lunchtime snack!

A smack of citrus with hints of warm blood orange aromas brought on by refined malt bill and loads of juicy hops. All hail Bloody ‘Ell!

Brewed with 3 citrus hops - Citra, Simcoe and Centennial. Dry and late hopped to extract the citrus and fruity hop aromas. Refermented in the bottle with a special Belgian yeast.

This roaring Double India Pale Ale starts with an optimal Belgian malt base balanced perfectly with bountiful hop aromas. We hunt for the best combination of 7 hops to achieve its mighty flavour. The secondary fermentation inside the bottle provides the final finesse and finish.

The recipe of this hazy India Pale Ale is as playful as the Belgian shepherd dog. We combine late and dry hopping with a unique yeast that complements fruity hoppy flavors. In true Belgian tradition, we do not filter the beer and do a secondary fermentation in the bottle to maximize all the goodness. The combination of these techniques create a natural haze and silky smooth taste.

What is a Belgian Golden Ale?

A Belgian golden ale is a complex and often higher alcohol beer. The color is typical gold yellow and often the beers are refermented. There are normally hints of fruitiness and a pleasant and mild bitterness level.

• Brewed with 3 Belgian hops
• Special Belgian yeast that provides extra flavour when fermentation continues
• Extra long refermention in the bottle
• Total brewing, resting, fermentation and refermentation: 90 days!

Aromas of cracker, light honey and pepper this lager is crisp, balanced with a suitable level of bitterness to ensure it has a dry, refreshing bite. Keep it nice and chilled. We drink it straight from the bottle. Feel free to pour yours into a glass if you want. Goes well with any food eaten on a hot summer’s day.

Big Drop Brewing Co.

This dry-hopped pale ale is deliciously refreshing. The nose has hints of pine and honey. Packed full of flavour from citrus-heavy hops with a twist of fresh lime to create a crisp, zesty beer. We serve it cold from the fridge in a straight sided half pint glass and enjoy it on its own, with a spicy Thai curry or a well-stacked chicken burger.

Extra pale malt is blended with Munich, Vienna and a splash of Crystal malt to produce a light golden colour. Columbus hops are used for bittering and Simcoe, Equinox, Cascade and Mosaic are added progressively throughout the boil with a good wedge added at the hop-stand phase. The hops add fruit, floral notes typical of a North American style pale ale. Clean US05 yeast is used to allow the hops to shine through.

An Amber Ale with 18% Rye malt to add a dry and biscuit quality to the beer. Rich malts add caramel character and Chinook hops add citrus, pine and spice while Cascade adds more spice and citrus with added floral notes. Clean US05 yeast is used to allow the hops to shine through.

The first in a series of single hop beers fermented with London Fog yeast. First up, one of our favourite hops, Galaxy. We can’t ever get enough of its huge peach and passion fruit aromas!

When the sea goes out, a safe land crossing appears to Holy Island. Halfway along a relaxing walking trail, at the north east head of Lindisfarne, is a large white triangle, piercing out of the long grass, gazing out to the North Sea, come rain or shine. It’s a lovely place to rest for a moment, and take in the natural beauty of this world, your body, and kind-hearted, loving intentions. (Pale Ale)
