We have 11 guest real ales which change several times a week. A broad range of styles are maintained, including mild, a stout or porter, strong ales and bitters of various strengths. Most are sourced from micro-breweries with an accent on local brewers, though we also actively support the older independent brewers.

Alongside the British ales we have a wide selection of European beers. On draught we have Bitburger Pils (the best selling draught beer in  Germany. We also have Budweiser from the Czech Republic- in pale and dark forms - and Erdinger wheat beers - the standard Weissbier and the new Urweisse, a recreation of their original 1880's recipe - from Munich. Our session lager is now Beck's Vier from Bremen. Possibly the best of the lot is Moravka, a truly superb pilsner brewed by Richard Hand's Taddington Brewery in Derbyshire. I think this is about the best lager I have ever tasted and recommend a visit to Youtube    'A Year of Beer #12 - Moravka Lager Beer' for a second opinion.

From Belgium, The Bhurtpore offers Timmermans Strawberry beer (a sort of cross between lambic ale and strawberry sorbet) and a guest ale which may be a honey beer, another fruit beer or perhaps a Trappist ale.

We also have a bottled beer list which features around 150 of the finest beers in the world, mostly from Belgium, but with contributions from Britain, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Holland or Germany.

If you are still struggling to find the right tipple, we also have real still cider on tap and a list of 25 to 30 of the best bottled ciders money can buy - needless to say, Magners is not on this list.
