Moondance
One of our original recipes brewed since 1997, a Pale Ale with copious amounts of American Cascade hops. Wonderfully aromatic floral nose balanced by a gentle bitterness with a hint of sweetness. No wonder this beer has won the most awards of all the beers in our range.

Notorious P.I.G.
If you want a beer with attitude, try new Notorious P.I.G! Our latest cask take on an East Coast Pale Ale may only be 3.8% but it’s brimful of Centennial, Mosaic and Mandarina Bavaria hops, then dry hopped with Mount Hood and Amarillo. Tropical fruit notes fuse with tangerine and citrus for a refreshing treat.

Lamplight Porter
The award winning Lamplight Porter is the strongest of our core beers. It's made in the style of the London Porters of the 19th century with plenty of brown malt adding complexity of flavour. Chocolate and coffee flavours come through together with a robust bitterness from English hops.

Swift One
A pale, golden quaffing ale with excellent flavours for its strength. Pleasingly hoppy throughout without being aggressive and also possessing of a fine aroma. The finish is dry with a small twist of sweetness at the end. If you feel that this is all rather pretentious then it can best be described as a bloody nice pint!
