Beers A-C

Abbaye des Rocs

9.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

It’s not an abbey nor is the beer abbey style... What it is though is a full tasting spicy brown Wallonian brew with ginger, orange peel, licorice and dandelions!

   

Achel Trappiste Blonde

8.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

Achel Blonde is a classic Belgian Tappist beer, and a quintessential blonde. A little spot of sweetness and candied yeasts, but the dominant flavours are of pale malts and delicious cereal.

 

   

Achel Trappiste Brune

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 Liberty Ale

5.9 abv
 / 24 x 35.5cl / 19.5 litre keg

First introduced in 1975, Liberty Ale is brewed with a top-fermenting ale yeast, responsible for many of the subtle flavours and characteristics. Dry-hopping imparts a unique aroma to the ale.

   

Anchor Old Foghorn

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

5.6 abv
 / 24 x 35.5cl

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.

   

Anchor Steam Beer

4.8 abv / 24 x 35.5cl / 19.5 litre keg

'The classic of American brewing tradition since 1896', Anchor Steam has a bronze colour with a thick creamy head. The palate is full and malty with a beautiful bitter hop aroma.

   

Arabier

8.0 abv / 20 x 33cl

From the self styled Mad Brewers at Esen. There has been a brewery on the site since 1835, but the Dolle brouwers name came quite recently. Arabier is a dry hopped blonde ale.

 

   

Barbar

8.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

A strong pale ale spiced with honey, giving a pronounced honey note. A well balanced brew - dry, bitter and tangy. An interesting world art label to emphasise the fact that honey was the ancient brewing sugar.

   

Barbar Bock

8.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

A chestnut coloured honey beer that is less gentle and more bitter than its regular counterpart. The origins of the Lefebvre brewery, located at Quenast (in the Brabant region of Wallonia, the French speaking district of Belgium) in the valley of the Senne, goes back to 1876.

 

   

Belgoo Magus

6.6 abv / 24 x 33cl

Belgoo Magus is a unique top fermented craft beer, 100% natural, non-filtered and which when poured gives a turbid white look to the beer. Belgoo Magus is a 'living' beer due to a last fermentation in the bottle by adding yeast just before bottling.

 

   

Biere du Demon

12.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

Clear and pure under its golden robe, La Biere du Demon seems innocent enough, but anyone who tastes of it will discover its insolent virility and become bewitched by this nectar’s 12 degrees of diabolic pleasure.

   

Biere du Desert

7.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

Seven degrees of torrid pleasure says the label. From the makers of Demon, Enfants du Gayant, another strong blonde beer in an attractive bottle.

   

Blanche de Bruxelles

4.5 abv / 24 x 33cl    5.0 abv / 50 litre keg

Brewed by Lefebvre just south of Brussels the beer named after the city is a light, fruity wit bier with typical cloudiness because the yeast remains in suspension. The neck label depicts the famous 'Mannekin Pis'.

   

Blanche des Honelles

6.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

Blanche des Honnelles has an amber colour and is also stronger than many white beers. If the bouquet is subdued its first flavour is a stark dry sharpness against a pepper background. There is no acidity in this Blanche that is made with three cereals (barley, wheat, oats). It has a stimulating taste, leaving a subdued but refreshing final impression. Lots of character and curious.

   

Bohemia Regent - Dark Lager

4.4 abv / 20 x 50cl

Dark is an export lager, garnet in colour with a clean roasted malt flavour giving a full round bodied flavour.

   

Bohemia Regent - Lager

5.0 abv / 20 x 50cl

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

10.0 abv / 24 x 35.5cl

The brewers use three mashes to brew each batch of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark chocolate flavour through a blend of specially roasted malts. Brewed every year for the winter season, it is delicious when newly bottled but also ages beautifully for years.

   

Brooklyn Lager

5.2 abv / 12 x 35.5cl / 24 x 35.5cl / 30 litre keg

Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards, beginning with first place at the Great American Beer Tasting in 1989. A superb balance of sweet malt and crisp bitter hops. Dry hopped for more flavour.

   

Bruges Tripel

8.7 abv / 24 x 33cl

Originally from the brewery Gouden Boom (golden tree) in Bruges a flowery triple style beer with a slightly sweeter flavour than is usual for this style of beer. The beer has an aromatically toasty maltiness balanced by Goldings hop character.

   

Bruges Z'ot - Blonde

6.0 abv / 24 x 33cl / 20 litre keg

A great beer and which goes well with most dishes as it brings refreshment and cleansing of the palate. A fruity dryness and conservative use of hops result in the lack of an outspoken bitterness.

   

Budels Organic Lager

5.0 abv / 24 x 33cl

A small family brewer located near the Belgian border, Budels uses organically cultivated malt and hops and is brewed using 'green power' following agreements with local electricity suppliers. The beer itself is a high quality pilsener withy a crisp dry flavour.

   

Cantillon Gueuze

5.0 abv / 12 x 37.5cl

Gueuze is a blend of young and old lambic beer, producing another fermentation and more maturation (for up to another year). A fruitier taste and champagne sparkle emerges and a slightly sour flavour is a characteristic of this style of beer. This is a highly acclaimed dry slightly bitter gueuze.

   

Cantillon Kriek

5.0 abv / 12 x 37.5cl

Cantillon Kriek is not artificially sweetened like all the other krieks you'll find on the shelf; authentic kriek is sour and very, very tart. This beer is not for beginners, but those in the know will agree with virtually every respected beer writer that this is the world-classic cherry lambic.

   

Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus

5.0 abv / 12 x 37.5cl

The process to make this beer is identical to the one to make Kriek. When young, the Rosé de Gambrinus will still present its full fruity taste. Later on, the lambic taste will become dominant at the expense of the fruit taste.
