Beer notes
A golden beer brewed with American Cascade and Chinook hops for a refreshing citrussy flavour and crisp, dry finish. Yella Belly is the nickname for us Lincolnshire folk, but how it came about is the source of much debate and mystique. Some say it’s on account of the waistcoats worn by the old Lincolnshire Regiment, while others swear it’s inspired by the stained overalls of the county’s mustard pickers or, indeed, the bellies of our distinctively marked marsh frogs. Whichever it is, Yella Belly is certainly a beer that deserves its place in local history.

2019 Silver Bitter
East Midland Region Champion Beer of Britain
Beer notes
We make our classic amber pale ale with Lincolnshire pale and chocolate malts, and a blend of English hops (traditional Goldings and the more floral Challenger), then slowly mature it for a grainy, quaffable beer. Not your average English bitter.
Food match
Good quality cheese – we recommend Lincolnshire Poacher.

2020 Silver Strong Bitter
East Midland Region Champion Beer of Britain
Beer notes
A malty multiple-winner of CAMRA’s Champion Premium Beer of Britain, our much loved XXXB is what you’d call an English tawny beer. Just like the first batch we crafted in 1978, it’s brewed with four malts and three varieties of hops, for a deliciously spicy, fruity and biscuity flavour.
Food match
Cheese and meat. A good ploughman’s lunch with Lincolnshire Poacher cheese.
Skull & Hammers
| ABV | 4.0% |
| OG | 1040° |
| Colour | EBC 18° |
| Bitterness | EBU 42° |
| Hops | Challenger, Cascade, Styrian, Goldings and Chinook |
| Contains | Barley & Wheat |
| Available | Limited Availability |
Beer notes
We fuse the flavours from the Golding & Challenger hops in XB and Triple XB and with the American Citrus flavours in Gold, by conditioning and maturing them together at the Brewery for 7 days, creating a tremendous bond between traditional English Ale and modern American Pale Ales. The bitter-sweet, citrus fruit flavour gives way to a smooth aftertaste, making this is a really moreish beer. Skull & Hammers is small-batch brewed, meaning there’s a limited amount available at any given time – so don’t miss out!
Food match
Fish dishes or, curiously, fruit sorbet.
Salem Porter

| Hops | Goldings, Styrian Bobek and Challenger |

Beer notes
An award-winner since 1992, our Salem Porter is dark, rich and chock full of flavour. First you get a lovely little explosion of warm buttered toast and crunchy nut biscuits from the roasted grains. Then the dark fruit hits you, along with strong hints of hazelnuts, almonds, liquorice and spicy hops.
Food match
A hearty beef stew or a nice piece of Stilton.
