Drinks

Drink % Brewery
6X 4.1 Wadworth Brewery

6X is our iconic ale, brewed for over 90 years with a national following of drinkers always seeking it out; it’s a beacon on the bar for many ale drinkers. 6X is the classic premium ale that has made Wadworth famous.

Tasting Notes: This hand crafted ale is a timeless amber-hued beer distinctively full bodied and eminently drinkable. The nose is malty and fruity with a balancing hoppy note. The delicious malt and fruit character emerge even more intensely on the palate with a long lingering malty finish.
Henry IPA 3.6 Wadworth Brewery

The main staple session ale, our IPA is an easy drinking all-round ale and is ideal for any pub’s session drinkers. It is light copper coloured with delicate malt aromas, cereal notes and a lingering finish.

Tasting Notes: This is a traditionally crafted India Pale Ale with a malt-led flavour and character. On the nose, our IPA provides a delightful malt aroma. On the palate it delivers clean and refreshing light malt notes combined with the classic strong hop flavour, and finishes with a crisp bitterness.
Swordfish 5.0 Wadworth Brewery

A full bodied, dark copper coloured ale infused with Pusser's Navy Rum.

Tasting Notes: A nose of gentle rum notes with a warm hoppy edge. This is a full bodied ale, with a rich smoothness and caramel overtones from dark, unrefined sugar and a rounded hop finish.
