Alt beer is a malty, amber coloured German ale made exclusively in Düsseldorf. It's highly sessionable with a beautiful malty, slightly roasty flavour and a very clean fermentation character.

Our take on an Irish red ale. A mix of Golden Promise and wonderfully fresh Gladfield specialty malts, combined with Goldings Hops and fermented with an English ale yeast results in malty complexity with a touch of fruity esters and a classic English hop flavour.

A beer made to drink by the pint.

We truly love our Red Rooster Red IPA. This is a it's little brother - a newely formulated recipe featuring Columbus, Amarillo, Centennial & Citra hops and still deliciously malty using fresh Gladfield malt like only a red IPA can provide. However, this is only 4.8% ABV - without compromising body or flavour.

ABV: 4.8%

This is an English Strong Bitter. Strong is relative by modern standards, it's under 5% ABV! Enjoy the classic flavour of complex malt with fruitiness from the English yeast and floral & earth notes from the hops.  A great session beer! This beer is a tribute to the footballer George Best, look him up and the anecdotes around him - he is a true legend!

Target ABV: 4.9%
