Beers A-C
Achel Trappiste Blonde
Belgian - Blonde - 8.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

A touch of caramel in the brune gives a smooth toastiness. Situated 20 miles south of Eindhoven but over the frontier with Belgium, the newest Trappist brewery resembles a brewpub. Father Thomas of Westmalle started the brewery, the current brewer is Brother Jules.
Anchor Bock (spring seasonal)

American - Wheat - 5.9 abv / 24 x 35.5cl
Humming is an ancient term used centuries ago to describe both ales and beers. Although its origins are shrouded in mystery, it suits this bold hoppy ale, created to celebrate the anniversary of Anchor's first brew in 1705.

American - Pale Ale - 5.9 abv / 24 x 35.5cl / 19.5 litre keg

Anchor Old Foghorn
American - Barley Wine - 9.4 abv / 24 x 35.5cl
A strong barley wine, dry hopped throughout the maturation period of some 6 months. Although the yeast is unable to ferment all sugars out of any beer at this strength the hop flavours make a balanced brew ideal for sipping after dinner.
Anchor Porter
American - Porter - 5.6 abv / 24 x 35.5cl / 19.5ltr keg
A unique dark brew which uses specially roasted malts, a top-fermenting yeast and only fresh whole hops. All this combines to produce a rich and intense flavour with subtle notes of chocolate, toffee, and coffee.
