The Grapevine Autumn Mini Beer and Cider Festival
The 2024 Autumn Mini Beer and Cider Festival is now over, but we still have the following selection available, all at £3.80 a pint.
On now:
Three Legs Pale #3 - Pale Ale
3.7% - Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex
A classic low ABV, low bitterness pale ale – light golden in colour
with a creamy mouthfeel. Cascade and Columbus bring floral and earthy
citrus bitterness.
Only With Love Buster APA - American Pale Ale
4.7% - Uckfield, East Sussex
Buster is the second in Only With Love's new APA special release series, this time
with a whole lot of Summit, Simcoe and Chinook hops. Bags of grapefruit,
a twist of tangerine, and all the lovely pine notes you'll recognise
from their award-winning APAs. Suitable for vegans.
Bewdley William Mucklow's Dark Mild - Strong Mild
6.0% - Bewdley, Worcestershire
A dark, sweetish, strong ale with a smooth fruity flavour and a slight liquorice aftertaste. This
beer was brewed in honour of the late William Mucklow who was the last
commercial brewer in Bewdley and ceased brewing in 1912. He was reputed
to have brewed a strong sweet dark mild (approx 6%+) and it was alleged
to have been the second strongest mild in the country.
Broadoak KB - Dry Cider
7.5% - Clutton, Somerset
A dry, full bodied, copper coloured cider made from West Country apples including the famous Kingston Black.
All gone:
Farm Yard Holmes Stead - Best Bitter
3.4% - Cockerham, Lancashire
A classic beer made using all British hops, malt and yeast. This best
bitter is all about robust malt flavours layered together with
traditional English hops to achieve a bitter, sweet balance.
Stardust English Bitter - Best Bitter
4.0% - White Waltham, Berkshire
This beer is blended to bring out the very best of traditional British
malt and hop flavours. The raised malt profile unlocks notes of roasted
caramel, which mingle with classic hop aromas.
New Bristol The Joy of Sesh - IPA
4.2% - St Paul's, Bristol
A session IPA packed full of
flavour. A simple clean malt bill with Maris Otter and oats for that
lovely mouth feel. Packed with Mosaic and Citra hops, so expect tropical, citrus, stone-fruit
notes. A sessionable IPA that's a joy to brew and a true joy to drink. Gluten free and vegan friendly.
Twisted Oak Spun Gold - Golden Ale4.5% - Wrington, Somerset
A beautiful golden ale brewed with just one malt (Maris Otter)
and late hopped with Perle and Willamette. Another fantastic smooth
tasting beer. Uses vegan finings.
Downlands Devils Dyke - Ruby Red Porter
5.0% - Small Dole, West Sussex
A
deep ruby red, malty, chocolatey porter with a roast coffee finish made
with Munich, Crystal, Chocolate and Black malts with Challenger hops.
Suitable for vegans.
Mr Whitehead's Boxing Dog - Medium Cider
7.5% - Four Marks, Hampshire
A renowned strong cider made from varieties that include Cox,
Russet and Worcester Pearmain. Drinkers who like “Westons Old Rosie”
tend to
be keen on this, as do fans of “traditional scrumpy”. Not too heavy for
its strength, especially if compared to similar strength beers.
