IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT BOTTLED REAL ALE
What is Real Ale?
CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale) define real ale as "beer brewed from
traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container
from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of extraneous carbon dioxide".
Therefore, for a bottled beer to be considered a real ale, it must be bottle conditioned.
What is Bottle Conditioned Beer?
Bottle conditioned ales have a small amount of yeast remaining
in the bottle and so are a live product, unlike 90% of ordinary bottled beers. This produces some secondary
fermentation giving a little sediment at the bottom of the bottle, but in return a much deeper character.
Pouring carefully will reward you with a clear, superior drink.
All our ales are bottle conditioned and fit CAMRA's definition of 'Real Ale in a Bottle'.
How To Store Bottle Conditioned Beer
In order to appreciate this real ale in top condition, keep it away
from heat and bright sunlight and store in an upright position.
We expect all of our ales to leave the shop in perfect condition. If, however, you
feel this is not the case please do let us know. We will gladly replace the bottle at the shop or offer a refund
We welcome feedback on all the ales we sell, either by phone or by email.
Please make sure you read our full terms and conditions
