Dark Star Brewing Co.

The yeast strain used for the brewing of this pale ale is specially imported from the USA. The low colour Maris Otter malt provides a perfect light colour and dryness to complement the crisp taste and aroma of the hops.

Tasting Notes: Citrus, Zesty, Dry

The brewery’s eponymous former Champion Beer of Britain. A dark, strong and bitter beer that defies classification. It has a complex malt flavour with a hint of burnt flavour from the mixture of Crystal and Chocolate grist.

Tasting Notes: 

A black beer brewed with roasted barley malt and challenger hops. Then freshly ground Arabica coffee beans, blended especially for Dark Star, are added to the copper for a few minutes after the boil to provide a rich and complementary coffee aroma. NOT EV

Tasting Notes: 

A chestnut bronze-coloured bitter with a smooth mouthfeel and freshness; a classic style strong bitter brewed as a Dark Star version of Festive, a former great Sussex beer from King & Barnes

Tasting Notes: 

An extremely clean-drinking pale golden ale with a strong floral aroma and elderflower notes from the Cascade hops. This beer is full-bodied and full-flavoured yet gentle enough to make it a favourite session beer.

Tasting Notes: 

A delicate and lightly hopped beer with the fresh fruitiness of South Down’s elderflowers which are added after the boil to preserve their delicate aroma.

Tasting Notes: 

A full-bodied and rich Imperial Stout brewed with roasted barley and target hops before being matured to create a complex black beer.

Tasting Notes: 

A Best Bitter brewed in a traditional Sussex style using Maris Otter, Crystal and Chocolate malts with East Kent Golding hops. Typical of Dark Star ales, the Best Bitter relies on the heavy handed addition of aromatic hops late in the boil.

Tasting Notes: 

A blend of Centennial, Liberty, Cascade, and Citra aroma hops by the sack full – then dry hopped during conditioning using our ‘Hoptimizer’ (Industrial sized hookah)

Tasting Notes: 

Six different varieties of hops, used during six stages of the brewing process by six brewers… It’s a beast of a beer.

Tasting Notes: 

This is a low gravity beer with a big heart. A range of dark malts bring classic roasted flavours along with a hint of sweetness through the natural complex sugars. Warrior bittering hops are used, along with a blend of the finest aroma hops to add fruit

Tasting Notes: 

Brewed with Chocolate and Crystal malts to produce this deep bronze- coloured beer with a subtle malty flavour. Bittered by the traditional Golding hop varieties, and then cask conditioned with stem ginger and other warming spices to add that distinctive
