A couple of treats for our dark beer crowd on keg...

Both from Amity Brew Co - a big hitting 8.4% plum porter - bold, smooth, and satisfyingly decadent. And a black lager - roasty and complex, without the heaviness of a stout.

Open at 4pm ๐Ÿบ

A few weeks ago we had a stout on from newish brewery Coley's and it flew out... So we thought we'd give their bitter a try. Nutty, a touch of caramel and a bittersweet finish.

Open at 4pm ๐Ÿบ

A fresh porter from Wye Valley Brewery with gentle blackcurrant for that throwback to the 90s when a touch of purple was added to everything in a pint glass! It's bloody lovely...

Here's something a bit special... Not very often you see a Rochefort on draught in the UK! We've got their most recent beer - a bold but mellow, full of flavour but still refreshing traditional Trappist Tripel. One to savour!

Open at 4pm ๐Ÿบ

The Trappist Monks from Westmalle Abbey have been brewing this beer since 1865, so they've had plenty of time to get it right! Dark, rich and complex with hints of caramel and banana, and a dry and easy finish.

Open at 4pm ๐Ÿบ

Cask update number two!

A very special cask stout from Ossett and Vault City... Salted caramel, intense espresso, cocoa, roasted malt, sweet, decadent, indulgent. A very impy stout feel, but at a manageable 5%...

Open at 4pm ๐Ÿบ

Cask update part one! A classic bitter from Kirkstall Brewery - nothing fancy, simply a well made beer-coloured and beer-flavoured beer!

Open at 4pm (but keep an eye out for update part two - it's a cracker, but I need to take a pic first...)

Cascade, Challenger and Mount Hood hops are the backbone of this thirstquencher from Fyne Ales - one of our favourite Scottish breweries... Citrussy, yet well balanced with a lingering bittersweet finish.

Atom have worked the hop magic to bring you lush mango, pulpy citrus, and a swirl of passion fruit wrapped in Verdant yeastโ€™s signature softness. Smooth, hazy, and deeply expressive. It's a beauty!

And - of course - it's pizzas from Johnny Dough's!
