Robust but light, like a good number 6 should be! Dry hopped with Mosaic hops for a refreshing finish.
The beer that changed everything. The first brew we perfected, the beer that made our name with its distinctive bitter, clean and refreshingly dry flavour. Made with only the best Maris Otter malt blended with a variety of English hops (a secret that we can never share), Butcombe Original is the classic session beer.
This ale has been the taste of Palmers for generations. A full-drinking, malty ale with a delicious hop character. A traditional IPA from the heart of West Dorset.
An incresingly dry, hoppy, bitter finish complements the spicy, citrus character of this full-flavoured and well balanced amber beer.
A full-bodied, easy-drinking Best Bitter. Toffee and biscuit notes complement a hint of bitterness to deliver a well-balanced flavour that’s made all the more drinkable thanks to its low ABV. This is a moreish, sessionable ale that’s bursting with character.
A premium bitter with pale chocolate and caramalt in the mash giving the dark amber colour. Dark muscovado in the boil adds to the complexity of the malt bill. Bramling Cross in the whirlpool works with the darker malts to add hints of berry fruit with hints of chocolate. Previously known as Old Higby.
Old Rosie is the name given to our 1921 Aveling and Porter steam roller, that still sits in our yard in Herefordshire. Strong, reliable and so loved by everyone in the Westons family, we named this cloudy cider in her honour. Light, crisp and dry, this truly old fashioned cloudy cider is slowly matured and left unfiltered.
Red extra special bitter. An experimental brew using Red X malt for a deep russet colour, rich and warming. Sweet and malty, tastes like cherries and red currant. Medium dry finish and quaffable.
Gold medal winning classic old style porter brewed packed with all the good dark stuff! Chocolate, black and brown malts give a full mouth feel. Packed with layers of flavour to repeatedly satisfy the palate. Dark and bitter sweet with hints of nut and liquorice and a touch of spice. A long creamy and mellow fullness on the finish. Delicious!
Amber-hued, distinctively full bodied and eminently drinkable with hints of Old J Spiced rum. The nose is malty and fruity with a balancing hoppy note. The delicious malt and fruit character emerge even more intensely on the pallet, with a long lingering Old J finish.
Strong, complex and full of deep distinctive flavours. A rich fruit cake flavour from roasted malt. First brewed in the 1940s, this prize-winning dark strong old ale has a loyal following among real ale connoisseurs.
Roasty toasty porter with hints of coffee and chocolate! The main hops are East Kent Goldings, but with emphasis on crystal malt, chocolate and roasted barley. Brewed to celebrate our 40th year.
Deceptively strong IPA that is eminently quaffable. A pale-coloured beer with a light hop balance leads to a hoppy, fruity aroma and smooth, finish. A wolf in sheep's clothing!
An IPA with Maris Otter and malted wheat in the mash giving a light colour and a full-bodied mouthfeel. Space themed hops make for an interesting contrast in selection. German Polaris in the boil adds fresh herbal notes and a low bitterness. Old-school USA Comet in at the end of boil add grapefruit flavours with a hint of pine. Galaxy in the dry-hop add pineapple and passion fruit flavours.
A refreshingly crisp and beautifully balanced seasonal brew made with all English ingredients. Showcasing the finest UK-grown hops, this IPA bursts with bright citrus, juicy apricot, and ripe peach notes, layered over a delicate floral backbone.
Rich aromas of honey and baked apple, ripe and buttery on the palate, with a moreish apple skin flavour, balanced with a crisp, natural acidity. Our Rib Tickler Cider was created with The Rugby Players Association in a chance run in. From harvest and pressing to bottling, this project has been driven by professional rugby players from Exeter to raise vital funds for charity. With profits going to The Exeter Chiefs Foundation and Wooden Spoon this is a project that we’re very proud to support.
