Real Ales

All beer is brewed from malted barley, hops, yeast and water, although other ingredients such as fruit, wheat and spices are sometimes used. The yeast turns sugars in the malt into alcohol and the hops provide the bitter flavours in beer and the flowery aroma.

The flavour of the beer depends on many things, including the types of malt and hops used, other ingredients and the yeast variety. Getting the yeast right is essential as each variety has its own distinctive effect on the beer.

Roland and Sarah have carefully chosen a selection of 4 quality real ales that are available constantly and have a different guest ale every 5/6 weeks. Giving you a range of different flavours, strengths and aromas available at The Butchers Arms.

Timothy Taylor, Landlord 4.3% ABV

A Classic Strong Pale Ale, Landlord has won more awards nationally than any other beer: This includes four times as Champion at the Brewers' International Exhibition and four times as CAMRA's beer of the year.

Refreshingly reliable, nationally renowned, this full drinking Pale Ale with a complex and hoppy aroma has real "Pulling Power" and stands out in any bar as the ideal regular.

Fullers, London Pride 4.1% ABV

Fuller's London Pride is the UK's leading premium ale.

Known and loved for its distinctive, rounded flavour, London Pride is the award-winning beer for which Fuller's is most famous. In recent years its popularity has grown to the extent that it is now Britain's leading premium ale: a welcome fixture in many pubs and off licences around the country, and now winning new friends abroad.

To the beer afficiando looking for the classic English pint, we say this: Whatever you do, take Pride
