ELSIE MO 4.7% ABV
elsie_mo Elsie Mo’s name is derived from the low colour Maris Otter Malt from which she’s exclusively brewed, and which gives her that tantalising golden hue.  A blend of hops – Challenger predominating – tempts you with its aroma and leaves a pleasantly crisp aftertaste.

HARVEST PALE 3.8% ABV
harvest_pale Described by esteemed beer writer Roger Protz as… “The finest blond beer I’ve drunk in many a year”, Harvest Pale is brewed with a gently-kilned malt, and an aromatic blend of American hops added during the brewing process gives this 3.8% alc pale beer exceptional poise.  Its distinct hop flavour leads to a crisp finish.  Harvest Pale has firmly established itself as Castle Rock’s Flagship Beer.  SIBA National Champion Bitter 2004 and Champion Bitter of Britain 2007.

HEMLOCK 4.0% ABV
