Crouch Vale Brewery

A gorgeous premium golden ale with wonderful aroma and a lasting spicy flavour.

Tasting Notes: Spicy

Smooth and malty dark mild for drinking in quantity!

Tasting Notes: Fruity and full – the use of roast barley in the mash provides not only deep-ruby colour, but also a subtle, clean and dry flavour. Allergen information – contains barley.

Supreme Champion Beer of Britain at the Great British Beer Festival 2005 AND 2006, this is a pale, refreshing and hoppy beer with gorgeous aromas of tropical fruits

Tasting Notes: 

Chinook is one of the most distinctive of American hops and one of their favourites.

Tasting Notes: This excellent amber session beer with pronounced resinous, lemony hop character and significant palate-cleansing bitterness.

Tasty bit of stuff, this Blonde. Featuring a whole new hop grist (Chinook, Summit and Mosaic) this stroppy bint may be too hot to handle after a few! Be proud of your roots!

Tasting Notes: 

Full bodied, traditional-style mid-brown “best” brewed from 100% English barley malt and copious English Challenger and Boadicea hops, which shine through.

Tasting Notes: 

Probably their favourite of the new-world US hops, Mosaic makes a beer which is all pineapple and tropical fruits, underpinned by a robust bitterness – a great summertime thirst-quencher

Tasting Notes: Pineapple, tropical fruits, bitter

Pale, wheat and chocolate malts take centre-stage with low hop bitterness to offer a smooth, malty style.

Tasting Notes: Chocolate, malty

A real hop-driven, Summer session beer.

Tasting Notes: 

A few years since they’ve been able to brew this – Mother Nature does not always provide what they require, but this year they are in business!

Tasting Notes: Using hops from multiple hedgerow sites in North Essex, brewer Peter has crafted this year’s version of a pale and delicately flavoured beer. Just *so* drinkable!

Yakima Valley is the area of Washington State in which the hops are grown. pron: YAK’-i-maw. Much revered.

Tasting Notes: Very pale with delicious US Amarillo hops, which are earthily aromatic and the beer, highly drinkable.
