About Us

James Clay & Sons is a privately owned, specialist beer company, established in 1982 and is based in West Yorkshire offering a national first class service to all sections of the drinks trade.

We import and distribute some of the more interesting beers from around the world and are proud of our selection. There is far more to beer than a taste-a-like lager or familiar bitter. Just as the world of wine ranges from Zinfandel to Champagne to Port so the world of beers has its own distinct styles. Our ethos is to bring to you natural quality craft brewed beers.

So if you are looking for something different, with an edge, we will have something for you be it on draught or in bottles.

Importing directly from brewers in Belgium, Czech Republic, Holland, Germany, France, Austria and the United States we can offer the kind of support needed in the 21st Century with publicity, special badged glassware, staff training and tasting notes plus full technical support.

TROIS MONTS

Country: FRANCE BEERS : BIERE DE GARDE 

From hop growing country, made with pale malts giving a nice golden colour. Fruity and malty with a spicy hop finish. Trois Monts refer to three hills close by - more like bumps! Nevertheless a great beer in a corked champagne bottle.
ABV: 8.50% 12 x BOTTLE 75cl

JEVER PILSENER

Country: GERMANY BEERS : PILSENER 

A world classic extra dry pilsener from the Freisland area of north Germany, only a small brewer, but producing a great beer not for the faint hearted! Very bitter hop flavour as indicated on the label – “herb”. One of the most hoppy, bitter beers in the world with 44 units of bitterness.
BACCHUS FRAMBOISE
ABV: 4.90% 1 x KEG 50 LITRE
