Flower Pots Brewery

Christmas beer, brewed with a Belgian yeast strain, high roast malts from Weyermann of Bamberg and New Zealand Pacifica hops (Pacific Hallertau).

Made with pure Munich Malt (Dunkel) which gives a lovely round malty beer with bags of flavour.

A premium bitter with hints of orange marmalade and a good depth of bitterness.

Tasting Notes: Citrus, bitter

Catherine revised her original Bate's Best Bitter with a reduced ABV, more complex depth of flavour with smooth notes of Seville marmalade and a deep fruit backing.

A darker malty session beer with not too much bittering and a tinge of roasted barley.

Dark brown/black with a creamy coffee aroma, a hint of sweetness in the mouth along with roasted chocolate maltiness, and a dry finish.

Christmas beer, Dark Ruby Ale brewed with high roast malts from Weyermann of Bamberg.

Tasting Notes: 

A dry beer, very light in colour, with a hint of elderflower. Refreshing and fragrant.

Tasting Notes: 

A dry, hoppy traditional bitter with a light bronze colour. Excellent on its own and particularly good with food.

Tasting Notes: 

Brewed with powerful North American Simcoe hops to give a strong fruity hop flavour which balances the weight of malt in a traditional 6% IPA - very full and rounded in the mouth.

Tasting Notes: 

Brewed for Christmas, light, dry and refreshing; with low alcohol for the drivers.

Tasting Notes: 

A classic beer in the modern ''Golden Ale'' style, with a superb gold colour and fullness in the mouth, which come from a subtle mixture of lightly caramelised malts

Tasting Notes: 

Designed and first brewed by brewster Catherine Bate in June 2011.

Tasting Notes: A modern style light IPA, with a real mouthful of fruity North American hops, a lingering bitter finish, and a superb gold/amber colour.

A porter/stout style beer, with shed-loads of crystal and chocolate malt (almost overflowed the mash tun). Very full on the palate, with huge depth of flavour. Also sold as ''Pots Porter''.

Tasting Notes: 

Iain McIntosh''s last "special" brew at The Flowerpots. Rich malty flavours coming from Munich and Chocolate malt, with low bittering and gentle hopping using Crystal from the USA. Full and very smooth in the mouth.

Tasting Notes: 

A light standard bitter with just enough hop and malt to pass as a regular session beer. It is a major revision of the original "Two Point Nine" serving as a benchmark for future production of a true 2.8% ABV beer.

Tasting Notes: 

A light straw colour with a subtle twist of citrus hop. A very refreshing beer with a perfectly clean finish.

Tasting Notes: Citrus, refreshing

A traditional style dark mild. Not too bitter and with a hint of smoky malt.

Tasting Notes: 

Brewed with freshly picked Goldings from Pridewood hop farm in Herefordshire. These give a more spicy almost peppery finish to what would otherwise be Flowerpots Bitter, and it proved very popular indeed.

Tasting Notes: 

A rich chestnut brown with a good balance of malt. The main grist is solely Munich malt from Weyermann of Bamberg with the addition of some coloured malts.

Tasting Notes: Roasted malt flavours dominate the palate with restrained hopping and a sweet light finish.

Golden, hoppy and fragrant. A dry beer for those who like strong hop flavour & aroma.

Tasting Notes: 

100th brew; first brewed Oct/Dec 2007, and now a regular seasonal beer.

Tasting Notes: A traditional stout with not too much bitterness or hop character, allowing the roasted barley flavour to come through.

A mid-brown beer with a superb red hue. Not too bitter or hoppy, allowing the malt to show.

Tasting Notes: 

Produced in response to great demand for a low alcohol beer. The initial brew is a bit lighter in the mouth than planned making it a work in progress.

Tasting Notes: 

A refreshing, dry, golden beer with a goodly slug of wheat malt and continental hops.

Tasting Notes: 

A traditional bitter with a fragrant fruity aroma and a superb copper colour.

Designed and brewed by brewster Julie Jones. Made with pure Munich and Vienna malt from Weyermann of Bamberg and noble New Zealand hops.
