Drink % Brewery
Abbot Ale 5.0 Greene King PLC

Full flavoured, smooth and mature taste with fruit cake characters , a malty richness and superb hop balance.

Tasting Notes: Mahogany in colour and brewed for longer to create a rich malty, and mature flavour.

Amstel Lager 4.1 Amstel

Beautiful golden color with a mildly bitter taste and cheerful character.

Tasting Notes: 

Carling 4.1 Carling - Use Coors

Carling has been Britain’s best selling lager for more than three decades. It is brewed to have the perfect balance of sweetness & bitterness ensuring it is as brilliantly refreshing from the first sip to the last.

Tasting Notes: Carling has been skilfully brewed using lightly kilned British malts, aromatic hops and Carling's unique yeast to create a malty, sweet flavour, balanced with a hoppy ''clean flavoured'' bitterness and the aroma of freshly harvested grain.

Heineken 5.0 Heineken

Brewing beer is a 100% natural process. Heineken beer is made from the purest ingredients.

Tasting Notes: The resin from the female hop flower cones is used to help balance the sweetness of the barley with a refreshing bitterness.

John Smiths Extra Smooth 3.6 John Smith's Brewery

John Smith’s Extra Smooth was launched in 1993 and is now the nation's number 1 ale.

Tasting Notes: The boffins say it has a distinct cereal character, with malty, caramel notes being complemented by some fruitiness. But we just think it’s a right good pint.

Landlord 4.3 Timothy Taylor's Brewery

Landlord is Timothy Taylor’s iconic flagship beer – a revered, nationally recognised classic. Four-time CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain and the UK’s top-selling cask beer. Brewed with Golden Promise malt, whole-leaf Goldings, Fuggles, and Savinjski Goldings hops, and pure Knowle Spring water, Landlord is crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality.

Tasting Notes: A classic pale ale with an amber hue, it opens with a complex citrus and fruity aroma, delivering a full but smooth malt body with a touch of sweetness, followed by a lingering, gentle bitter hop finish that keeps it refreshing.

Pedigree 4.5 Marstons

Pedigree. Now with added personality. They haven’t changed the taste. Just how it looks. So welcome to the new-look Pedigree, or “P” as it was first known. Strange that, looking back.

Tasting Notes: Anyway, it has a fascinating aroma, with a palate of biscuit malt, spicy hops and light fruitiness. It was renamed in a staff competition back in George Peard’s day. He was the Head Brewer at the time – that’s him on the clip. Cheers George.

Sharp's Doom Bar Amber Ale 4.0 Sharp's Brewery Ltd

Doom Bar is a perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours, Doom Bar is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.

Tasting Notes: “The aroma of Doom Bar combines an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balanced and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more.” Stuart Howe, Head Brewer.

Stella Artois 4.8 Stella Artois

Stella Artois is one of the world’s best-selling beers and is enjoyed in more than 80 countries. Its full, characteristic flavour and high quality is assured through a superior brewing process and by using the finest ingredients available.

Tasting Notes: It is brewed to perfection using the original Stella Artois yeast and only the best ingredients including the celebrated Saaz hops. It's the optimum premium lager, with its full flavour and clean, crisp taste.

Tiger 5 Heineken
Strongbow 4.5 Heineken

Strongbow gets its distinctive flavour and cut-through refreshment through the unique blends of bittersweet British cider apples from our Herefordshire orchards.

Tasting Notes: The cider is made from a blend of bittersweet cider and culinary apples making it a well-rounded, balanced cider with a good mix of fresh apples and cidery flavour

Strongbow Dark Fruit 4.0 Heineken

Crisp Strongbow cut with a blend of dark fruit

Tasting Notes: Harnessing the crisp, masculine refreshment of Strongbow Original, Strongbow Dark Fruit offers an easy-drinking combination of Strongbow cider, cut with black currant and blackberry juices.

Today

England v India

Programme starts at 11:00

Coverage of the first ODI in the three-match series, which takes place at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The hosts are looking for their first one-day series victory against India since 2018, when they won a three-match contest 2-1 at home. Since then India have won the last three series between the two teams, and have also won seven of the last nine meetings in this format since that 2018 series.

Today

France vs Spain

Programme starts at 20:00

Coverage of the first semi-final, which takes place at Dallas Stadium in the USA. The French are looking to reach their third successive final, having finished as runners-up to Argentina in 2022 and lifted the trophy in 2018. Their current line-up has arguably looked even more impressive this time around, and they rarely looked troubled in topping their group, before eliminating Sweden, Paraguay and Morocco in the knockout rounds. Spain reached their first World Cup semi-final since they won the competition in 2010 thanks to a 2-1 victory over Belgium. Arsenal's Mikel Merino scored another late winner for the Spaniards after Manchester United's Senne Lammens made an error leading to the goal.

Tomorrow

Argentina vs England

Programme starts at 20:00

Coverage of the second semi-final, which takes place at Atlanta Stadium in the USA. England reached their fourth World Cup semi-final with an extra-time victory against Norway in the quarter-finals, and were victorious in this stadium in the last 32, when they came from behind again to defeat DR Congo. The goals of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham have been key to their success, and they'll be needed again here against old foes Argentina. The reigning champions haven't been at their best in their title defence, but have still managed to score three times in each of their three knockout matches so far, and have the remarkable Lionel Messi, who is set to face England for the first time in his career.
