We've got something GOLD this week


No boys - not Shirley Eaton, which is a great shame!

In addition to our regular ADNAMS Lighthouse ale, this week we've got Greene King's rather lovely IPA GOLD.

This light golden ale (4.1%) brings the best out of the Savinsjki Goldings hop variety. The timing for introducing these hops is all-important because this creates the balance between the hoppy aroma and the bitterness of the aftertaste. The brewers add the hops at a later stage of the boil than with the Greene King IPA – this brings out tropical fruit aromas and spicy notes, which are followed by the clean, bitter flavour and crisp, dry finish. 

Being a lighter ale, they recommend enjoying Greene King IPA Gold with fish or pasta - but we prefer Pork Scratchings, Peanuts and Crisps - or perhaps a wedge of Cheese if you're really lucky!

We're open as usual from 8PM this THURSDAY and FRIDAY.
