Local Brews

Best Bitter 3.8% ABV Frog Island Brewery
A pale brown, easy drinking beer. English Marris Otter pale malt, crystal malt and wheat malt contributes to a malty aroma with a hint of caramel. The initial roasted malt flavour is balanced by the bitterness and hop character of English Target and Fuggles hops, which linger into the aftertaste.

Croak and Stagger 5.6% ABV Frog Island Brewery
Croak & Stagger is a dark, full flavoured beer. This recipe for this chestnut-coloured brew includes American Cascade hops which contribute a sweet and spicy note to the aroma. The use of English Marris Otter pale malt, crystal malt, wheat malt and chocolate malt gives a flavour that is initially roasted and slightly bitter and develops to give a slight hint of dried vine fruits. The flavour of the Cascade hops and bitterness produced by the addition of English Target hops combine to produce an astringent aftertaste. In March 2004 it was crowned Supreme Champion at the Society of Independent Brewers national competition.

Northamptonshire Bitter 4% ABVHoggleys Brewery
This beautiful, rich golden beer has intense but well rounded, refreshing bitterness. This can only be achieved with the liberal use of low alpha hops; in this case, Fuggles and Northdown.
