The Ale Menu
Tring – Wrens (4.1%) – Sponsor Dave Underwood Master Thatch
An extra pale malt base provides the ideal clean canvas for the spectacular US big hitters Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe hops. Expect pungent tropical, mango and citrus flavours.
Tring – Over the Bar (4.0%) - Sponsor Keystone Construction Services
An amber coloured ale with a good portion of wheat in the grist. A crisp malt base is complemented by a full and fruity aroma from Cascade hops.
Tring – Moongazing (4.2%) – Sponsor KDM Auto
This red-amber hued ale has a well rounded late bitterness with grapefruit, mango and peach hop characteristics imparted by American Chinook and Citra. Rye crystal malt adds additional complexity to stimulate your senses.
Tring – Fanny Ebbs Summer Ale (3.9%) - Sponsor Drivestyle
Amazingly crisp with very low bitterness and late citrus hop aroma from a combination of Saaz and Cascade varieties.
Bristol Beer Factory – Dorado Drop (4.0%) - Sponsor Brian Stevens Landscape Construction
These are two less-heralded US hops which we love and deliver big flavour in a session strength pale. El Dorado was a contender for use in our Subtropic as it carries tropical fruit flavours and should blend beautifully with Lemondrop - a new lemon, mint and melon hop. Using a similar malt bill to Low Rider (Maris Otter Extra Pale, Vienna, Crystal, Torrified Wheat) the torrified wheat should give that textured body always required to carry the flavour in a low-ABV beer.
Abbey Ales – Heritage (3.8%) - M.R. Construction
A darker malty bitter.
Bishop Nick – 1555 (4.3%) – Sponsor Gildon Electrical
Now this is a seriously full-bodied ale. No messing. Bishop Nick wasn’t burnt at the stake in 1555 so we could sit quietly and sip weak ale. Not a chance. This rich tawny beer is a tribute to defiance. With an unmistakably sweet nutty taste underlined by the ginger and fruit of Styrian goldings, 1555 shall not be moved.
Wibblers – Crafty Stoat (5.3%) - Sponsor Totternhoe Traction
A truly special brew. Made to a recipe developed by the Durden Park Beer Circle to recreate the Stout brewed by Ushers Brewery back in 1885. Initially made with the assistance of members of the Craft Brewing Association and the UK-Homebrew Digest at the 2007 ‘Flocculation’ With six different types of malt and a huge amount of English Fuggles hops this is a dark and complex beer.
Dark Star – Sunburst (4.8%) - Sponsor Custom Bars and Event Management
A hint of initial sweetness adds to the fruitiness and grapefruit tang of this summer ale without detracting from its clean flavour and rich hop aroma.
Great Heck – Shankar IPA (5.9%) – Sponsor RM Contracts
Named after the eponymous Ravi, Shankar IPA represents a place where English craft brewing, oriental intensity and rock and roll meet. A seriously fruity, hoppy, pale beer with a clean, zesty finish.
Redwillow – Stateless Pale Ale (3.9%) - Sponsor Forest Computer Services
A classic English session ale brewed with three classic American hops, producing a rounded pale ale packed with the citrus, pine and grapefruits notes you expect from Cascade, Columbus and Chinook.
Rebellion – Unifier (4.2%) - Sponsor Newstyle Windows
Tawny and hoppy.
Vale – Brill Gold (3.5%) - Sponsor Sherpa Feeds
A golden session ale made from the finest maris otter malted barley and english hops.The full malt flavour is well balanced with fruity, slightly citrus hop aromas and soft bitterness.
York – Terrier (4.2%) - Sponsor Roger Clarke
Our original brew, Yorkshire Terrier is a multi-award winning single hop premium golden ale. Using only the flavours of UK grown Challenger hops and a dash of Crystal malt, expect a refreshing taste, where fruit and hops dominate the flavour and aroma with a clean, bitter finish...
