London Lager

Brewed with East Anglian malts and Kent Golding hops. This classic London Lager combines for a crisp, smooth and refreshing lager that's full of flavour. Our brewer has once again created a slightly smoother beer with a subtly sweeter flavour profile and a crisp hop finish for all craft beer aficionados.

Just a Bit | ABV 5.1% IBU 40

Just a Bit - Extra Special Bitter

The quintessential English Pub Ale. While the name “extra special bitter” might suggest otherwise, we are delighted that ESB beers’ bitterness is not overpowering. This style is known for its balance and the interplay between malt and hop bitterness. English pale ales display earthy, herbal English-variety hop character. Medium to high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma should be evident. The yeast strains used in these beers lend a fruitiness to their aromatics and flavor, referred to as esters. The residual malt and defining sweetness of this richly flavored and medium bodied.. It is the perfect ale to sip while spending some quality time with friends.

Nimbus | ABV 6.3% IBU 31

New England IPA

Another brewery workhorse, named after the storm cloud due to its hazy appearance. This medium-bodied IPA is bursting with juicy tropical notes, papaya, mango, and pineapple. Double dry-hopped with Mosaic, Citra, El Dorado, and Galaxy. Copious amounts of oats and wheat push the creaminess forward with a well-rounded finish.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
