Ancient Oak

Pedigree. Now with added personality. They haven’t changed the taste. Just how it looks. So welcome to the new-look Pedigree, or “P” as it was first known. Strange that, looking back.

Tasting Notes: Anyway, it has a fascinating aroma, with a palate of biscuit malt, spicy hops and light fruitiness. It was renamed in a staff competition back in George Peard’s day. He was the Head Brewer at the time – that’s him on the clip. Cheers George.

In 2016, we were delighted to begin a partnership with Ember Inns and brew a new cask beer together – Ember Inns Pale Ale. In late 2019, we took on a new challenge with the team at Ember Inns and launched Twilighter in their estate of beautiful pubs. Available permanently as their house beer across 148 pubs nationwide, Twilighter is a flavour packed, fresh IPA that uses a blend of new world American hops and brewed with the very best Maris Otter malted barley. At 4.0% ABV, Twilighter is a beautifully sessionable pint that’s perfectly balanced and quaffable with fragrant citrus notes blended with a sweet malt base. It goes perfectly with a range of light dishes

Tasting Notes: 

An exquisitely, golden ale, named after Alfred Wainwright, the renowned Lakeland author who was born in Blackburn.

Tasting Notes: Wainwright is a refreshing golden ale with subtle sweetness from the Maris Otter malts and the special mix of hops give a delicate citrus fruit overtone. Voted World’s Best Golden Ale at the World Beer Awards.
