Every family has a few Christmas traditions and this one's ours. By using a blend of pale ale and crystal malt, Styrian Golding hops, and some festive ripe fruit flavours, it's nothing less than Christmas wrapped up in a glass. We all love brewing it, almost as much as we love tasting it.
This strong, ruby-coloured ale has a smooth, moreish flavour, its flowery and citrus hop aroma being balanced by the richness of the malt flavour which develops into a finish of spicy and fruity hop notes.
Enjoy an unreservedly special bounty. A premium copper ale hopped with English Goldings and Slovenian Savinjski Goldings. Plentiful sweet fruit flavours come together to create a complex and undeniably satisfying sip.
A bitter and twisted tawny red ale. Don't be fooled by his frosty features, a dose of Scrooge's Revenge can redeem almost any soul from the cold. East Anglian malted barley with a duo of Perle and Bramling Cross hops. A malt and fruit aroma gives way to a rich, full-bodied finish.
A full-bodied, very distinctive beer with a bitter-sweet aftertaste.
A traditional North-Eastern brown ale. The full, welcoming aroma leads to a good balance of ripe grain and spicy hops in the flavour, resulting in a long, bittersweet finish.
A best bitter brewed with the rare Bramling Cross hop for soft fruit aroma and taste. The satisfying bitterness is balanced by sweet toffee/caramel from the crystal malt. Hops: Goldings, Pilgrim, Bramling Cross and Target.
This Trans-Atlantic fusion IPA is light golden in colour with tropical fruits and light caramel on the nose. The palate soon becomes assertive and resinous with the New Zealand hops balanced by the biscuit malt. The finish is aggressive and dry with the hops emerging over the warming alcohol.
This is a medium-sweet apple-pear hybrid, made by blending a variety of fruits to give a full, fruity aroma and a smooth, crisp flavour which packs a mad punch.
This beer is dark strong and well rounded; the richness of such a rotund beer is brought to an even keel by the late addition of Goldings hops and natural plum flavouring. Take the opportunity and go for the low hanging fruit, this sumptuous beer really is a plum!
This wonderful, dark ruby winter-warmer is brewed using East Anglian pale ale and chocolate and amber malts, giving a good balance of flavours, a grapefruit bitterness and a dry, spicy finish.
Something a bit different for Christmas. A golden, refreshing ale with a really fresh, hoppy nose. More hops come through on the finish with herbal/lemony notes. A tasty ale - Yule be coming back for more!
This distinct ruby beer’s sweet caramel and fruity aromas tease the taste buds. Brewed with smooth and rich chocolate and crystal malts and a blend of Fuggles and Styrian Golding hops. Expect a delicious full-bodied toffee flavour and a fruity finish of figs, raisins and dates.
This pale straw-coloured ale has hints of pear and pineapple on the nose, leading to a robust, malty palate which is well balanced by a pleasing steely bitterness.
Naturally hazy, crisp, refreshing beer, full of American hops. Vegan friendly.
Rich amber in colour with superb fruity aromas which are complemented by a delicious blend of malty tastes. Toffee and malt combine with bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a balanced sweetness followed by a refreshingly dry finish.
An exceptional example of the Special Bitter beer style, offering substance and depth of flavour without compromising balance and drinkability. An aroma of inviting roasted and dark berry notes gives way to sumptuous, fruity, malty flavour and a moreish hop finish.
