It's not everyday you meet a farmer as passionate about sustainability as Adam Henson. His Cotswold grown Maris Otter barley helps produce a seriously characterful pale ale, all within a stones throw of Bristol. Brewed with Mendip spring water and fruity Cascade and Amarillo hops, it's a refreshing, ciutrusy and smooth, with an amber hue. A bare breed? We wouldn't call it anything less.
Brewer: Butcombe Brewery Ltd, Cox's Green, Wrington, Bristol

The brew that's driving me mad, I'm drinking today, yeah!
Dry hopped for added aroma and extra bite with a citrusy zing ... don't think twice.
Fancy a ticket to ride ...?

We scour the Norfolk countryside for ingredients. Many come from foraging in wild hedgerows while some come from the public, local growers and suppliers. Who knows, something in here may have come from Aunt Mavis' allotment up the road.
Brewer: Wildcraft Brewing, Church Farm, Smallburgh, Norfolk.
Alcohol: 5% volume
This is the nickname for Yuengling’s Lord Chesterfield Ale (5.4% ABV), a full-bodied, hop-enhanced American pale ale. Named after Philip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773), Chetty has been part of the Yuengling line-up since 1934. Lord Chesterfield was a noted diplomat, orator and man of letters. He had no direct involvement in American colonial affairs but was an opponent of the Stamp Act of 1765, predicting that it would harm trade with the colonies. The origins of the American War of Independence can be traced to this measure.
As well as the Yuengling brew, the Chesterfield County of Virginia and South Carolina is each named after the Lord.
Yuengling Brewing of Pottsville PA is a large-scale operation and is not considered a craft brewer. But its beers are often my default choice when a local craft beer is unavailable on tap: Yuengling is also brewed in Tampa so is widely to be found.
