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.

Tasting Notes: A premium ale brewed to celebrate a bounteous harvest, this beer is a favourite in Wadworth's seasonal range.

Tasting Notes: 

Old Timer 5.8 Wadworth Brewery

A classic dark, full-bodied winter warmer

Tasting Notes: Our classic winter warmer, ever popular with beer drinkers for 50 years. The beer remains true to its original recipe, a deep chestnut in colour with a strong malty aroma and full bodied complete flavour. When supplied in bottles, we bottle condition this beer to retain the authentic flavour.

Guinness Draught 4.2 Guinness

One of the world's best-loved beers, with sweet smelling aromas of coffee and malt, from the first velvety sip to the last, lingering drop, every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between is pure beauty… pure Guinness.

Tasting Notes: Smoothly balanced with bitter, sweet, roasted notes

To Helles and Back 4.5 Wadworth Brewery
Cruzcampo 4.4 Heineken

Cruzcampo is a pilsner style Spanish lager founded in Seville in 1904. Brewed with subtle hoppy notes, fruity characteristics and finished with Cruzcampo bitterness. It’s a fresh, crisp, easy drinking beer and a favourite amongst Spanish locals.

Tasting Notes: 

Amstel 4.1 Heineken

Our classic, golden Amstel Beer, with its very distinctive and mildly bitter taste, has over the years become well known beyond the borders of its native country.

Tasting Notes: 

Foster's 3.4 Heineken

Foster's is the ultimate ice-cold refreshment. Its balance of subtle fruitiness and vanilla is ideal for the sweeter-toothed lager lover. The perfect session beer to enjoy with mates.

Tasting Notes: A light-coloured lager style, it presents full malt character with a balanced clean hop bitterness. Combined with a slightly hoppy, but yeasty/malty nose, Foster's lager is a full bodied beer with excellent drinkability.

Guinness 0.0 0.0 Guinness

Guinness Draught 0.0% Non-Alcoholic Beer is a non-alcoholic beer with the same smooth taste, perfectly balanced flavour and unique dark colour of Guinness, without the alcohol. The brewing process starts just as it always has, but with Guinness 0.0% the alcohol is gently removed through a cold filtration method. This helps to preserve its natural flavour, ensuring that the all important sweetness of the malt, the bitterness of the hops and the unique Guinness roasted barley flavours are all perfectly balanced.

Tasting Notes: The union of sweet malt, bitter hops and roasted barley gives Guinness 0.0 its unique, characteristic flavour, with hints of coffee and chocolate aromas - smooth, creamy and with a perfectly balanced finish.

Heineken 0.0% 0.0 Heineken

Heineken 0.0 is a refreshing alcohol free beer characterised by fruity and fresh malt notes and a light body. At just 69 calories this is a great refreshing drink for all.

Tasting Notes: Brewed with the uncompromising Heineken characteristics since 1873. And made with natural ingredients including Heineken's unique A-Yeast. It wasn't easy, but not impossible.
