Goose Island Honkers Ale
Inspired by visits to English country pubs, Honker’s Ale combines a fruity hop aroma with a rich malt middle to create a perfectly balanced beer. Immensely drinkable, Honker’s Ale is not only the beer you can trust but one you’ll look forward to time and again.
Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale
Like the digits suggest, it’s a beer that’s densely populated with flavor and loaded with character. We don’t filter it, so none of its life and soul is stripped away. The first thing you notice is the hazy, cloudy appearance. That’s how you know it’s unfiltered. What hits you next is the spicy aroma of Cascade hops, followed by the crispy, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body, the result of blending barley malt with torrified wheat. It’s not like any other Goose Island Beer, but no less that you’d expect.
Innis & Gunn Blood Red Sky
Blood Red Sky sets a scene. Warm Caribbean sand, flickering candles, cold beer and anticipation of the night to come. From this place came the inspiration for this brew. Jamaican rum barrels meet Scottish red beer in an explosion of cool, spicy rum notes, vanilla and rich fruit.
We brew Blood Red Sky using our unique barrel into beer method, turning the traditional beer into barrel process on its head without losing any of the wonderful flavours and aromas from the barrel.
West Berkshire Good Old Boy
A “Good Ordinary Bitter” which won first prize at the White Horse branch of CAMRA’s beer festival, September 1995, and a gold medal at the 2002 SIBA South East Regional Competition. Strongly hopped and full flavoured – our best seller.
Badger An American Venture
Hall & Woodhouse, the family-owned brewery in Blandford Forum, Dorset, dating from 1777 – famous for its Badger beers – proves that traditional companies are not living in the past with the first in a Limited Series labelled Across the Pond. The series acknowledges the impact American craft beer has had in Britain. An American Venture is modelled on the West Coast pale ale style and is made with Amarillo, Cascade and Mosaic hop varieties. Pale malt is joined by such darker grains as Vienna, Munich and caramalt. The beer has a flaring deep bronze colour and a “sweet shop” aroma of candied fruits with peach, lemon and lime and a cinnamon spice note, along with rich bready malt. Bitter hops bounce across the tongue, balancing juicy/honey malt and continuing ripe fruit and spices. The finish is dry and hoppy, with intense fruit and spice notes along with biscuit malt. It’s a wonderfully drinkable, refreshing and well-balanced beer, an object lesson in keeping malt and hops in harmony.
