Our Double Dry Hopped Pale is brewed to soup up your down time by delivering the hop flavour intensity of our DIPAs at a moderate ABV. Doubling our standard Pale Ale’s dry-hopping rate of 8g/L, this beer upturns industry norms where double more often means twice, and delivers a bold, juicy, hazy, and heavily-hopped Pale Ale. Out of our hoppy beer range, this sets the marker for balance between drinkability and flavour impact.

This DIPA’s roots stretch back to a full team West Coast beer tasting in September 2015, and our scene-changing V series. Now a staple style in the UK, this DIPA is hoppier, softer, and juicer than the IIPAs that inspired us, and is brewed to showcase our favourite hops, yeast and brewing processes. Effervescent, bold, and bright, this deceptively drinkable strong beer is an excellent party starter.

This is the final beer brewed at Cloudwater by one of Staffordshire's finest exports, Jake Oulsnam. Our moustachioed brewer has left for a life on the road, slinging coffee to folks across Europe from the back of a van. Before heading off he brewed one of his favourite recipes - a bright, bitter West Coast IPA with New Zealand hops. Dunna be flummoxed lad, always fassen fossen fost.

Distinctive New Zealand hop varietal Motueka is famous for producing incredibly bright flavours of fresh lime. We couldn't resist the chance to use one of our hand selected lots in a light, thirst-quenching Gose, the German style that blends sourness with salinity.

A German-style Pilsner brewed with a blend of American and new breed German hops. Huge amounts of flavour and character, yet balanced and easily drinkable

Classic in style, much like the Helles lagers found in Germany, this is the original Cotswold lager. Deceptively easily to drink, but with lots of hidden depth of flavour

Café Racer is a dark roasted coffee and vanilla porter with a hint of danger. A nod to the speed-crazed bikers who risked life and limb to race from one greasy spoon café to the next – dark as your favourite leathers, smooth as a Triumph Bonneville and crazy as going ton-up and heading for the hairpin.

Velvety and smooth, yet light and easy drinking – luxurious yet sessionable. (No moose were harmed in the production of this beer.) Vegetarian Friendly.

A fabulous balance of Amarillo and Centennial hops, orange peel and orange puree. Its a full on juicy and hazy IPA with a bitter kick from both the hops and the peel. Really drinkable, and a perfect Summer refreshment.

Pilsner is a classic lager style beer which has been brewed for centuries in Pilsen, in the Czech Republic. It is cold fermented and matures slowly. Fierce Pilsner has spent over six weeks in tank, uses a traditional yeast strain and noble hops to develop a crisp, clean flavour profile with a little sweetness.

Carioca is a superfruit kettle sour. Acai leads, with blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry playing back-up. It’s a sweet and sour, super food of a beer. (Maybe) one of your 5 a day.

Goes well with budgie smugglers and healthy(ish) living.

Ola Dubh 12 pours black with a modest spattered head that reduces slowly, leaving behind textbook lacing. The aroma is delicious; smoky Worcestershire sauce, leather, iodine and grilled steak. Flavours of smoky-sweet malts, roasted peat, coffee beans and a well-bittered finish. Overall this is a rather exotic brew with a defined barrel influence. It’s refined rather than over the top and very delicious indeed.

Legend has it that Old Engine Oil was dedicated to our Head Brewer's love of classic cars. But it's the thick, dark, chocolatey viscosity that reveals the real inspiration behind the name. We use loads of roasted malt to give it a rich black colour and add plenty of oats to smooth out the tannins and give it a creamy mouthfeel. No aroma hops here, just Galena, East Kent Goldings and Fuggles for bittering. It’s just the job for anyone who appreciates beautifully engineered stuff that used to be made properly. So undo the top button of your pressed pits overalls, ease into the wingback and roll out a rare taste of a truly great British beer. Welcome to our Owners' Club.

Like the famous mountain it takes its name from, Schiehallion (pronounced "She-hal-i-on") brings intense reward for the sort who like to plant their flag at the very top. The perfectly-paired combination of wheat malt and lager malt is our secret sauce for this ‘Champagne of Lagers’, providing an elegant head, luscious lacing and crisp palate. A lingering, fresh grapefruity finish from whole, pressed hop cones tops it off. So unstrap your knapsack, find a comfy boulder and pour out a pint of pure, premium pluck. It’s all downhill from here!

A dark brown strong beer, finely balanced, with a strong malt and nutty flavour. The hop character is present in the aftertaste, which is dominated by a pleasant sweetness.
