Our take on the unfashionable traditional mild. Low strength, low hop, loads of malt flavours, easy drinking. Brewed by special request for a regular and named after the publican from the Wickerman film. Hops: East Kent Goldings and Fuggles.

Sulwath

A refreshing session ale brewed with British-grown hops. Fruit-forward from the first sip. Juicy tropical fruit—think passion fruit, mango, and ripe peach—leads the palate, layered with subtle citrus zest. The malt backbone provides gentle sweetness from Maris Otter, a soft smoothness from wheat malt, and a light toasty depth from the amber malt, giving the beer a balanced and rounded finish. Easy-drinking, full-flavoured, and brewed for those who like their beer bold but sessionable.
