The Greyhound

The original stalwart of the Black Sheep range. First brewed in 1992, Best Bitter is the iconic Yorkshire Bitter devised and created to offer beer with real flavour and bite. A different breed

Tasting Notes: Brewed with whole flower English hops, Best Bitter packs a genuine spiky bitterness with big character. Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops blend to create a beautiful aroma and flavour with kicks of grassy freshness and a big peppery punch. The Maris Otter malt offers a light sweetness that balances against those big bitter characters.

The beer that changed everything. The first brew they perfected, the beer that made their name with its distinctive bitter, clean and refreshingly dry flavour.

Tasting Notes: Made with only the best Maris Otter malt blended with a variety of English hops, Butcombe Original is the classic session beer.

Golden full-bodied malted beer

Tasting Notes: Rounded malt in the mouth with strong hop balance, deep bittersweet finish.

A London brew with country roots, it’s a straightforward, clean, long-matured, unpasteurised lager that bursts with the classic flavours of East Anglian malt and Kentish hops.

Tasting Notes: 

150 years ago, London brewers had to import Californian hops to meet demand for the popular Pale Ale beer style.

Tasting Notes: We happily continue this tradition and every year our Brewmaster travels to America’s Yakima Valley to hand-select some of the world’s finest hops, to make sure our London Pale Ale tastes just as it should do, year in, year out. We blend buckets full of American Cascade and Centennial hops with Kentish Goldings from just up the road to give our London Pale Ale the crisply refreshing, perfectly bitter finish that you’d expect from a quality pale ale. The American hops give aromas and flavours of citrus fruit, balanced by the ‘hopsack’ aromas from the Kentish hops.

Their top selling, award-winning, best bitter brewed for over 25 years. Light amber in colour, TEA is refreshing, hoppy and well-balanced. Surely the best drink of the day!

Tasting Notes: An enticing amber colour with a hoppy and slightly fruity aroma.
