Brewed ByBeerABV (%)Tasting Notes
AcornBullseye4.5Rich red bitter that is sweet and malty with caramel notes.
AllgatesGin Pit4.3A pale ale with a smooth malt balance and a sweet, fruity flavour. The pit and village lies on the Tyldesley/Astley border.

Mrs Otto says Its brewed with juniper berries don't you know! Save some for me please!
Bank TopBarley to Beer3.6English malt and East European hops blend to give a pale bitter with a citrus and herb finish.
Bank TopPavillion Pale Ale4.5Fruity yellow beer with citrus hop aroma.
Cross BayNightfall3.8Amber session ale with a spicy fruit finish.
ExmoorExmoor Gold4.5Exmoor Gold is an appetising and enticing gold in colour. Bittersweet with hints of citrus fruit weaving in and out.
Fool HardyRash3.8A rich copper beer with a very light floral aroma. Initial toffee flavour immediately gives way to a bombardment of flavours.

Mrs Otto says There is some toffee there, but it won't overpower you and it soon gives way to a wonderful hoppy taste that lingers and lingers.

These two Fool Hardy ales are usually only available at the Hope Inn, Stockport, so make the most of this opportunity to try them both.
HydesOriginal Bitter3.8Pale brown malty brew with earthy hoppiness.
Mr Grundy'sNo Man's Land4.5Dark in colour - yet hoppy - retaining the soft malty flavours of a traditional bitter.
OakhamInferno4This light, igniting ale flickers complex fruits across your tongue, leaving a dry, fruity, bitter finish, smothering your thirst.
Olde SwanEntire4.4Faintly hoppy, amber premium bitter, with sweetness persistent throughout.
Olde SwanMa Pardoes Original3.5Classic Black Country quaffing ale.
Rat (Osset)Lab Rat4.3A classic pale ale with citrus hop character and balanced bittering.

Mrs Otto says Indulge your inner scientist with this delicious pale ale. It's brewed at the Rat and Ratchet in Huddersfield, one of Osset's microbreweries. These smaller plants allow for some experimentation with the recipes that isn't possible in the bigger, main breweries. Where good chemistry meets good brewing, good beer is the result.
N.B. No rats were harmed during the making of this beer!
StablesSilver Buckles4.4An India Pale Ale. Light and golden biscuit with a grapefruit finish.
ThornbridgeWild Swan3.5White gold in colour with aromas of light bitter lemon. A hint of herbs and a subtle spiciness. A great refreshing beer.
