Drinks

Drink % Brewery
Carlsberg Danish Pilsner 3.4 Carlsberg Marstons Brewing Company

Completely rebrewed from head to hop, our new Carlsberg Danish Pilsner has a light and refreshing qualities with a smooth, full mouthfeel and a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. Distinctive citrus hop aromas deliver a greater depth of flavour and a hoppy, moreish aftertaste to the final sip. Skål!

Tasting Notes: 
Fosters Radler 2.0 Heineken
Guinness Original 4.2 Guinness

Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm.

Tasting Notes: Unmistakeably GUINNESS®, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.
Imperial 10.5 Dark Star Brewing Co.

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: 
Maldon Gold 3.8 Mighty Oak Brewing Company

Champion Golden Ale of Britain 2007

Tasting Notes: Brewed using only Maris Otter pale malt for a light golden ale with biscuity malt flavours. Mount Hood and First Gold hops give a distinctive citrus character along with a long dry bitter finish
Peroni, Nastro Azzurro 5.1 Miller Brands UK

Brewed from the finest spring planted barley malts, Peroni has a unique balanced taste with a delicate aroma arising from the hops of the most exclusive varieties.

Tasting Notes: Bright and light golden coloured with a pure white frothy head.
San Miguel 5.0 Carlsberg Marstons Brewing Company

San Miguel is brewed using a special mashing process which gives the beer a fuller and slightly sweeter flavour. The unique recipe and San Miguel yeast then come together to deliver a refreshing, full bodied beer with a great taste.

Tasting Notes: San Miguel is a pale blonde Spanish pilsner style lager, with a hoppy, citrus aroma, and hoppy zesty fruity flavours with a full flavoured hoppy lingering finish. San Miguel is well suited to tapas style food, cured meats, hams and cheeses
Six Hop 6.5 Dark Star Brewing Co.

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