Drinks

	Drink	%	Brewery
	Sussex Best Bitter	4.0	Harvey's Brewery
Our most famous and popular brand - it makes up over 90% of our total brewing capacity. Winner of the Champion Best Bitter of Britain title at CAMRA's Great British Beers Festival in 2005 and 2006. First brewed as recently as 1955. Tasting Notes: A superbly balanced session bitter with a prominent hop character.
	Pilsner	4.0	Harvey's Brewery
Our Pilsner has a sweet aroma and a soft, bready taste. The layered bitterness is derived from Lubelski hops. Brewed using pale and lightly roasted malts, combined with Munich malt. Tasting Notes:
	India Pale Ale	3.5	Harvey's Brewery
With a delicate grassy and earthy hop aroma, the refreshing bitterness of this beer is balanced by the subtle malt flavours which make for an extremely drinkable pint that has a dry finish and lasting after taste. Tasting Notes: Fragrant hop flavours impart a full but delicate bitterness to this classic table beer. Light and refreshing with a grassy and earthy hop aroma.
	Wharf IPA	4.8	Harvey's Brewery
Wharf IPA is a modern heavily hopped IPA. It is brewed with new hop varieties to create a joyful outpouring of fresh flavours from the bine. Tasting Notes: Modern heavily hopped IPA. Zesty and fragrant, this golden beer contains the very essence of our local hop gardens.
	Olympia	4.2	Harvey's Brewery
It was first produced in 2005 to celebrate our major summer award at Kensington Olympia for Best Bitter. Tasting Notes: A cool golden summer ale. Very refreshing with a balanced complexity.
	Becks	5.0	Becks
Every bottle of Becks is brewed according to the uncompromising German Reinheitsgebot (Purity law). With a strong and committed heritage, Becks has had only 6 brew masters throughout a 125 year history. Tasting Notes: Our original Becks is a classic German lager beer with a distinctive full-bodied taste, fresh "hoppy" bouquet, golden colour and a full rich head. Adding to its complexity is a slightly fruity but firm crispness and a dry, clean finish.
	Birra Moretti	4.6	Heineken
The ultimate Italian lager since 1859, Birra Moretti’s special blend of high quality hops creates a smooth, full bodied beer with wholemeal bread top notes which are cut by a delicate citrus note. Tasting Notes: It is a bottom fermented beer with a golden colour. This colouring is a result of the type of malt used in brewing. Its alcohol content is 4.6% alcohol by volume. It is not a strong beer and is therefore perfect for drinking at lunch, at dinner or for evenings out with friends
	Camden Hells Lager	4.6	Camden Town Brewery
Hells is the lovechild of their two favourite German beer styles - Helles and Pilsner. Clean, crisp and dry. Tasting Notes: A classic lager that’s exactly what it should be: easy-drinking, crisp and dry with beautiful bubbles. Clean and refreshing with a dry hop finish, you can taste the great depth of flavour which comes from the long, slow maturation in tank. This is how a great lager should taste.
	Stowford Press	4.5	Westons Cider
A refreshing medium-dry sparkling cider that is bursting with the delicious flavour of crisp cider apples Tasting Notes:
	Henry Westons 2011 Vintage	8.2	Westons Cider
A distinguished special reserve, medium-dry sparkling cider Tasting Notes:
