Our Beers
|
Quietly sat in our stores our new beers are enjoying the peace as they gradually condition and become their sparkling best. We don't use any chemical fining agents or forced carbonation, just time and nature to give them the right conditioning.
Because we make natural beer you might find its ever so slightly cloudy with some sediment in the bottom of the bottle. This is entirely safe and natural and adds to the flavour and aroma. Chill lightly and pour carefully and leave the last spoonful in the bottle, or even just savour that last vitamin packed drop! We try to brew on rotation so we may not always have your favourite in stock, also we sometimes get people buying everything we have of one brand, bear with us! Also keep checking back for our seasonal specials. |

Golden Venture
Hoppier than a rabbit on a trampoline. Golden Venture is a flavour smash of top grade malts and hops with a satisfying bitterness and a lovely hint of orange marmalade at the finish from a hop called Manderina Bavaria. With all the flavour and 6.5% alcohol Golden Venture is a beer to be savoured.
Best enjoyed chilled over conversation or listening to your favourite music (goes spectacularly well with Hawkwind). Works really well with a good curry too. Curry, Hawkwind and beer, what's not to like!* The Golden Venture was a rich seam of copper discovered on Parys Mountain in 1768, earning its finder 2 bottles of brandy and a rent free cottage. Golden Venture APA 330 ml bottle. Alcohol: 6.5% * Other quality musical combos are available.

British Summer Time
A delicious juicy hoppy ale that's perfect for either slaking your thirst after a hard afternoon with the lawnmower or for sitting back and staring out at the rain. It's the perfect British Summertime beer!
It's also great with food, we particularly enjoy it with picnic favourites, especially cheese and pickled onions, it's probably superb with pork pies, but we need the opinion of a non-veggie on that one! It also goes seriously well with a good curry, far better than the usual lagers I reckon. British Summer Time Session IPA 500ml bottle Alcohol: 3.8% ABV |

Mad March Hare
A wildly hopped ale that rips up the rule book. Brewed with Summit, Cascade, Challenger and Northern Brewer hops it's a full flavour ale with a refreshing zingy bitterness.
Mad March Hare is a really friendly quaffing beer that gets conversation flowing. Seems to go well with pretty much any food we've tried (I had a glass with a chip butty, thick white bread, lots of butter and thought I had achieved Nirvana... Turned out it was Smells Like Teen Spirit on the radio, but you get my drift.) IPA (India Pale Ale) was originally made with extra hops as a preservative, helping the ale reach its market in India in top condition. Mad March Hare IPA 500ml bottle. Alcohol: 5.1% Currently brewing! |

Renaissance Porter
A deep dark beer made to be savoured. On the nose it's spicy and almost savoury, but the flavour... A rich, warm rush of deep coffee and dark chocolate are matched with a delicate bitterness and the backbone of the fairly high gravity. A smooth and well rounded beer.
Renaissance Porter is a great match for really robust stews and casseroles, it also goes superbly well with powerful cheeses, Stilton and good Cheddar (Aldi do a nice one with crunchy bits in it and with the money you saved from not going to Waitrose you can buy more beer!). Update, it also makes a superb steak and ale pie (this is pure imagination as I used Quorn steak substitute, but it was lovely regardless) Renaissance Porter 330ml bottles. Alcohol 6.5% Reality Shift
'Big bold IPA looking to meet posh pink grapefruit for long term relationship'. Who would have thought a big heavy hitting IPA could go all romantic eh?
The result is a raucous riot of mouth tingling flavour that tickles the tastebuds and leaves a lingering smoothly bitter fruitiness. This is beer that makes you sit up and go wow, think Basil Fawlty's face when he's been slapped by Sybil... Still not sure what I mean? Just check out the label! We love this with nachos, pizza and it was sensational with a bowl of ice cream (which seemed a bit unlikely, but goes to show you never can tell). Reality Shift Grapefruit Finish IPA 330ml bottles. Alcohol 6.8% 45 Fathom
Do you ever go to art galleries? A bit of a random question for a beer based website, but bear with me. If you walk round a gallery you'll see lots of people with 'gallery face', an intense look of concentration as they consider each piece (or in some case a desperate attempt to work out why on earth they're there, but I digress).
45 Fathom will give you just that face, though with pure pleasure in front of your own fire with no echoing creaky floorboards and school trips running around knocking things over. It's a deep, contemplative and warming ale, layers of curated bitterness (see what I did there?) are matched to delicately sweet maltiness with smooth coffee and chocolate notes finishing with a lingering hint of cinder toffee from a healthy dose of old fashioned organic Muscovado sugar. In the Parys mines, 45 F is the deepest you can get, a dark silent historic place that can be deeply contemplative. 45 Fathom Strong Winter Ale 330ml bottles. Alcohol 7% |

No.9 Dream
The Blissed Out IPA!
It's 50 years since the Summer of Love inspired people to turn on, tune in and drop out. Now it's time to celebrate this Summer with our specially brewed Blissed Out IPA, open up, pour and chill out!
No. 9 Dream is a fruity festival of flavours as Chinook, Amarillo and Cascade hops join hands ans sway to the beat of a solid malty bassline. Smooth and very easy drinking with a refreshing edge of laid back bitterness. If you're loking for the perfect burger beer you may have found it, especially if you like your burgers maxxed out with the full ketchup, pickles and mustard treatment. It's also great beer to sip at with a bowl of crisps chilling with friends. Serve well chilled out. #9 Dream IPA 330ml bottles. Alcohol: 5% ABV |

The Raven - Oatmeal Stout
We love researching old beer styles, real pieces of the history of our country and a genuine link with the flavours enjoyed by our ancestors. Working on old recipes and trying to recreate them is a fascinating way to spend some time in the brew room, proper arts and crafts.
Oats were a common ingredient in ancient ales, easy to grow and plentiful and they were a key ingredient in the first recorded Stout in 1677. Oatmeal Stout became hugely fashionable in the 1890s when they were marketed as a health product, seen as 'nourishing and strengthening and recommended for invalids'! They fell almost into extinction in the 1960s with the fashion for taste-free gassy lagers with only Guinness (and to an extent Mackeson) retaining any significant sales of a Stout. The difference between a 'normal' Stout and an Oatmeal Stout is the softness and fullness of the feel of the Oatmeal, making a Stout that has much less of the bitterness you'd normally expect and a real smoothness. Ours also has a little more strength for a well balanced ale. Raven Oatmeal Stout. 330ml bottle. Alcohol: 6.7% ABV Currently bubbling in the Fermenter!
