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
Alcohol: 3.8% volume

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.

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.

This festive favourite is a merry brew crafted from Mosaic hops to give this light, refreshing pale ale a pleasant peachy aroma and taste. A special beer for those pesky house elves! Here's to a season of laughter, love and warmth! And of course, your Good 'Elf!
A great match with roasted festive fayre or crunchy nibbles and snacks.

Samuel Smith's Pale Ale captures the true soul of beer. It's is brewed with hard well water, best organic malted barley, yeast and organic aroma hops. Fermentation in 'stone Yorkshire squares' creates a full-bodied rounded palate that goes well with good food. It has a fresh maltiness that reminds you that good beer is a product of the soil - organically nurtured.
Serve at about 51 deg. F (11 deg C).
Brewer: Samuel Smith, The Old Brewery, Tadcaster, North Yorkshire.
