Brewed By: 
Adnams
Self-Defined Style: 
English Ale/Bitter
Strength (ABV): 
4.1% ABV

A refreshing beer of real flavour - distinctively hoppy and dry with malt aromas. Delicious served cool.

Adnams brewery has stood in the heart of Southwold for over six hundred years and the ship "Southwold Jack" appears on their beer labels. He continues to guard over our longest-serving beer brewed here in Southwold on the Suffolk coast -The Bitter. Bitter goes well with roast meats and fish cooked in batter as the clean bitterness cuts through the slightly fatty notes and hence keeps the palate refreshed. Our Bitter also makes a good aperitif.

Brewed By:

Self-Defined Style: 
Bitter
Strength (ABV): 
3.6% ABV

Malt - Maris Otter pale malt and crystal malt
Hops - Challenger
"It is, quite simply, a wonderful beer. It is exceedingly pale (21-22 units colour), with just a hint of colour in its cheeks from the dash of crystal malt. It has a massive orange fruit aroma from the challengers, balanced by
biscuity malt.

"Juicy malt and tart hops vie for attention in the mouth while the finish is tart and hoppy but well balanced by creamy malt. The bitterness rating is a substantial 36-38. The tangy fruit lingers on the back of the tongue until it develops a hint of orange liqueur."
Roger Protz - CAMRA

Brewed By: 
Great Divide
Self-Defined Style: 
Rice Beer
Strength (ABV): 
5.1% ABV

Looking for something a little different? Brewed with rice and barley malts, Samurai is an easy drinking, unfiltered ale that changes the status quo for unfiltered beers. The addition of rice gives Samurai a slightly fruity, crisp, refreshing and clean taste. This is definitely not your everyday unfiltered beer.

Best With: 
Seared tuna encrusted with sesame seeds, lo mein, Humboldt fog - a soft goats milk cheese from California, nachos, or any other bar snacks needing a quaffable beer.
