Beers on keg

Keg beers will be serviced in 1/3 and 2/3 measures...

1) Archer (2022): Apple & rhubarb sour (5.2%)

Archer is our annual apple and rhubarb sour release - back for 2022! This year we’ve fermented on a single-variety apple juice from the amazing Townsend farm. The Jonagold apples used in the juice add a sweet, appley crispness to this beer – a perfect match for the natural tartness from the rhubarb juice. 

£2.40 / £4.80

2) Soprano (2022): Elderflower & grape sour (5.4%)

Soprano is an elderflower and white grape sour with a floral freshness that reminds us of late-Spring country walks. In this year’s version we have used bags of fresh elderflowers picked locally in the morning sunshine. The addition of white grape juice works beautifully with the elderflowers. Grape skins add a pleasing tannic quality. Whilst a small amount of gooseberries add a note of tartness.

£2.40 / £4.80

3) Rocketeer (2022): Pineapple gose (5.3%) 

Rocketeer is a refreshing, easy-drinking gose with delicate tropical flavours from the addition of fresh juicy pineapple, pineapple puree, and from the yeast strain we selected. Initial summery sourness ends with subtle saltiness from Fleur De Sal and a savoury character from the addition of coriander seeds. Get this in your glass when the sun’s out and we guarantee it won’t be there for long!

£2.25 / £4.50

4) Composer (2022): Blackcurrant sour/saison blend (6.7%) 

Composer is a blend of our base sour with a rye saison. By blending we’ve deepened the flavour of the resulting beer - producing a dryer finish and mellowing the overall sourness.  After blending, we aged Composer on organic blackcurrants from Herefordshire – filling this beer with an earthy, jammy character, and turning it a wonderful shade of purple. This year’s version uses a different saison strain compared to 2021 - for increased bubble-gum character and a slightly higher ABV.

£2.75 / £5.50

 

Beers IN bottle

All bottled beers can be consumed at the festival, or can be purchased to take home.... with the exception of Trouper which is drink-in only. 

5) Skipper: Sea Buckthorn Saison (6%) 

Skipper is a refreshing saison that’s crisp, dry, and drinkable. The addition of sea buckthorn berries adds a tangy, tangerine-like character, whilst modest dry hopping with Citra and Nelson Sauvin helps to accentuate their fruitiness. Delicate, yet aromatic – with wave upon wave of delicious Saison flavour.

£4.25

6) Trouper (v1): Brett aged cherry sour  (6.5%) 

Trouper is the oldest beer we’ve released! Aged for one year on multiple Brettanomyces strains, cherries, and apricots, and refermented with a new mixed culture, farm-pressed cherry juice and apricot kernels. Trouper is mildly sour, with a leathery character, and flavours of dried fruit, sherry, and cherry cola

£5.25 - drink in only!

7) juggler (2022): Raspberry sour (5.3%) 

Juggler is all about encapsulating the wondrous flavours of fresh raspberries. Back for the third year running, our flagship sour is yet again packed full of juicy Herefordshire grown raspberries. Super juicy and tart, with that unmistakable fresh raspberry zing! 

£4.25

8) Queen V: coffee stout (5.5%) 

Queen V uses the brilliant Anonymous Coffee Co’s ‘No Name’ blend. These beans are bursting full of chocolate, hazelnut, maple and caramel notes – flavours which work perfectly with our base stout recipe. Easy drinking, wonderfully smooth, and full of roasty coffee flavour and aroma. 

£4.25

9) Mystic: cranberry, hibiscus & lime sour (4.8%)

Mystic is an enchanting deep red colour with layer upon layer of wondrous fruit character. This beer has everything; tartness and bitterness from cranberries, floral and fragrant notes from hibiscus, and a big kick of fresh lime to wash it all down with.

£4.25

10) alto (2022): red grape sour (6.2%) 

Alto – our red grape sour – is back for 2022! Additions of red grapes, blackcurrants, and blueberries create a wine-like character to this beer. Whilst tannins, largely from the grape skins, provide dryness that’ll leave you eager for another sip.  

£4.25
