Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pastuerised
Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

This is probably one of my favorite English beers. It is very smooth, amber in color with a nice lacing white head. Malt dominates this brew with a nice subtle hop bitterness at the end.

Flagship beer, in my opinion. Prototype brown hue with a quality head on the pour. Wonderful malty nose. Nutty, rich malt flavors are perfectly balanced with just right amount of bitter edge. Outstanding ale.

One of my favs. This is the bottled version of their Old Brewery Bitter. Has more of a kick at 5.0% abv. Nice buttery flavor.

The best pale I’ve had yet, still looking for one better.
