We pride ourselves on the range and quality of our real ales, and have attained a listing in The Good Beer Guide and Cask Marque 'Recommended' status. We usually have six ales on tap, with eight at busy times and during our beer festivals. You can choose from three or four 'regulars' and a selection from our guest ale rotation, giving a wide range of strength and character. Note: Due to the nature of real ale, all ales may not be available at all times.

	Our Current Range of Regulars:
		Brakspear Bitter (3.4%) A superb session beer. Amber in colour with a good fruit, hop and malt nose. The initial taste of malt and the well hopped bitterness quickly dissolves into a predominantly bittersweet and fruity finish.
		Timothy Taylor 'Landlord' ABV 4.3% Refreshingly reliable, nationally renowned, this full drinking Pale Ale with a complex and hoppy aroma has real "Pulling Power" and stands out in any bar as the ideal regular. A Classic Strong Pale Ale, Landlord has won more awards nationally than any other beer: This includes four times as Champion at the Brewers' International Exhibition and four times as CAMRA’s beer of the year.
		Sharps 'Doombar' ABV 4.0% The aroma of Doom Bar combines an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balanced and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness.
