A summery beer that breezes in just like the migrating swallows. It’s made with lager malts giving it a light body, while Cascade, Chinook and Bramling Cross hops are added late in the brewing process for a lovely hint of lemon. A crisp, dry, refreshing pale ale, deserving of a proper summer’s day.

Just like Santa, our Rosey Nosey cuts a colourful figure on a cold December night. Our old Christmas favourite greets you at the bar with his famous bearded pump-clip and flashing nose, and delivers a wonderfully full-bodied (again, like the man himself), dark amber beer with hints of sultanas, raisins and festive spice.
