OUR REAL ALES

A core of six plus seasonal and specialities!

Our focus is on producing high quality, classic real ales in small batches. We have a core of three traditional ales, Ashdon Amber, All Saints and Cavendish Red, plus three modern pale ales, Zestival, Mosquito IPA and Vulcan DIPA. Our speciality ales include a Coffee Porter, Nighthawker and a Belgian Style Pale Ale, Abbey Gold. We also have seasonal ales of Saffron Sun Lager in the summer and Camps Comfort, our Winter Warmer. All our ales are VEGAN friendly.

ASHDON AMBER - Fine Craft Ale

4.4% ABV

Our flagship cask ale proved so popular with the local real ale enthusiasts we decided to bottle it too!  A delicious amber ale packed with flavour, refreshing bitterness and a delicate hoppy finish imparted by a late addition of East Kent Golding and Progress hops. Contains BARLEY.  

CAVENDISH RED - Ruby Mild

3.8% ABV

A new take on an old-fashioned classic, Cavendish Red is brewed with a perfectly balanced blend of wheat and barley malts to deliver a deliciously chocolaty, malty flavour. We use a combination of traditional Northdown and East Kent Golding hops to provide a satisfying light bitterness with Bramling Cross hops for a subtle spiciness and a delicately fruity aroma.  Contains BARLEY and WHEAT. 

ALL SAINTS - English Ale

4.8% ABV

This rich tawny beer is full of satisfying malty flavours due to a generous combination of barley and wheat malts. Brewed with traditional English Fuggle and East Kent Golding hops with a late addition of fragrant Slovenian Aurora to deliver a deliciously delicate spiciness and subtle hop aroma.  Contains BARLEY and WHEAT. Next batch available in August.

ZESTIVAL - Golden Pale Ale

3.6% ABV

Specially created for the spring and summer festival season, this is a thirst-quenching zesty pale ale ideal for the long hot summer days.  Brewed with generous amounts of Columbus, Summit, Australian Summer and Ekuanot hops to impart incredible orange and lemon,  papaya and melon flavours with a deliciously refreshing grapefruit aroma.  Contains BARLEY.

VULCAN - Double IPA

7.4% ABV

Powerful, refreshing and not for the faint-hearted, our thoroughly modern Double IPA is jam packed with mouthwatering new world hops.  Bursting with fresh pine, passion fruit and orange citrus flavours from the freshest Simcoe and Amarillo hops and brewed with the finest pale malts for a gigantic, full strength beast of an ale! Contains BARLEY. Next batch available in August.

MOSQUITO - India Pale Ale

6.2% ABV

Our premium pale ale is loaded with generous quantities of Amarillo, Summit, Columbus and Cascade hops for a mouthwatering citrus aroma and refreshing flavours of tangerine, grapefruit and lychee.  Contains BARLEY. 

ABBEY GOLD - Belgian Pale Ale

5.2% ABV

Inspired by the complex fruity aroma of traditional Trappist ales, we've created a lighter, more refreshing pilsner style beer. By using Belgian abbey yeast and floral Saaz and Tettnang hops with Belgian Pilsner malt we've crafted a deliciously thirst-quenching hybrid ale, equally ideal served chilled on a warm summer's evening or in front of the fire place, keeping winter at bay! Contains BARLEY. 

NIGHTHAWKER - Coffee Porter

4.6% ABV

A rich and complex porter brewed with roasted barley, dark crystal and chocolate malts and sustainably sourced freshly ground coffee. We use Challenger and Magnum hops to deliver a well-balanced bitterness and late addition Willamette and Belma hops for a hint of red berries. Contains BARLEY. 

SAFFRON SUN - Golden Craft Lager

5.4% ABV

Brewed with flaked maize and fine pilsner malts, Saffron Sun is a crisp, refreshing craft lager.  We use Aramis, Mount Hood and aromatic Ultra hops to deliver delicious herbal, spicy and sweet honey notes. Contains BARLEY. Next batch available in August.

CAMPS COMFORT - Winter Warmer

5.0% ABV

Our dark chestnut-coloured festive ale is brewed with a subtle hint of Christmas spices. The combination of barley and wheat malts layered with traditional English hops imparts a subtly sweet, dried fruits flavour and a distinctive nose of sherry and cinnamon. A perfect ale to be savoured through the long winter evenings. Contains BARLEY and WHEAT. Next batch available in November.

CLARE SKIES - Suffolk Summer Ale

4.8% ABV

A fresh tasting pale amber ale with a light and fruity aroma. Designed with the warmer months in mind, we use fine pale and crystal malts with a blend of eight mouth-watering hops to deliver a refreshing, satisfying and truly Suffolk summer ale!  Contains BARLEY. SOLD OUT.

ALLERGY INFO
