The Swan

Armada Ale was one of the first new ‘Golden Ales’ that emerged in the 1980s. It has a pronounced yet balanced hop character, derived from Fuggle and Golding hops. Robust, refreshing and still a port of call in any beer-drinker’s voyage of discovery.

Tasting Notes: Dry-hopped. A golden ale with a vibrant hop tone and a dry finish.

With a delicate grassy and earthy hop aroma, the refreshing bitterness of this beer is balanced by the subtle malt flavours which make for an extremely drinkable pint that has a dry finish and lasting after taste.

Tasting Notes: Fragrant hop flavours impart a full but delicate bitterness to this classic table beer. Light and refreshing with a grassy and earthy hop aroma.

Our most famous and popular brand - it makes up over 90% of our total brewing capacity. Winner of the Champion Best Bitter of Britain title at CAMRA's Great British Beers Festival in 2005 and 2006. First brewed as recently as 1955.

Tasting Notes: A superbly balanced session bitter with a prominent hop character.

Sussex born and bred, Sussex Wild Hop was inspired by the discovery of a previously unknown hop, growing wild in East Sussex. It is supplemented with Cascade hops grown in the UK. Best served slightly chilled.

Tasting Notes: A sharp edge of citrus cuts through earthy background flavours. Beautifully balanced, but a bit on the wild side – ‘Sussex Born and Bred!’
