Award Winning Ales Sampler Case - Mixed Case of 20

Norfolk Bitter

Malty, with a fruity character and a dry finish.

About this bottle: The ales from Woodforde's Brewery, which started production in the 1981, were inspired by the discovery of the diaries of an eighteenth century clergyman, Parson Woodforde, who was partial to the local ale. This Norfolk Bitter has most of its ingredients sourced from the immediate area, including water from the brewery's own borehole and Norfolk grown Marris Otter. It has a lovely balanced hoppy malty character.

Cornish IPA

A pale gold, refreshingly full flavoured, beer with citrus aromas and a light malt finish with a hint of resinous pine.

About this bottle: It is a "Cornish twist" on traditional India Pale Ales (IPAs) using locally grown malted barley, plenty of North American hops and Cornish spring water. The result is an extremely smooth and enticing full flavoured beer. St Austell Brewery has grown steadily from the initial vision of a young Cornishman called Walter Hicks in 1851 to become one of the largest private companies in Cornwall. Still an independent, family owned regional brewer, St Austell Brewery has become part of the fabric of the South West.

London Porter

Using 7 malts to create a historic recipe from 1750. A sweetish caramel flavour followed by a smoky maltiness.

About this bottle: This London Porter is brewed in Greenwich, using no fewer than seven malts to recreate a historic recipe from the 1750s for a style of beer that was once synonymous with London.

Sussex Golden Ale

The distinctive country shield of Essex with its three seax knives is referred to in works from the sixteenth century and is believed to date back to Anglo-Saxon times.

About this bottle: This is a light golden beer brewed with English Challenger hops for bitterness and American Mount Hood hops for its distinctive clean citrus aroma. Dry hopping before bottling gives a burst of flavour on the palate and a subtle bitterness that lingers beautifully. On the front label the steam trains of the Nene Valley Railway are a familiar sight in the countryside around Peterborough, where this ale is brewed.

Adnams Southwold Summer Beer

Zesty flavours of grapefruit, sweet with a hint of bitterness.

About this bottle: The Adnams Brewery has produced its fine beers on the coast of Southwold since 1872. This summer beer, created by master brewer Fergus Fitzgerald, is made using American hops from Washington's Eastern Seaboard. These hops are farmed for their remarkably mellow and un-bitter taste when fermented.
