Beers, Ciders and Perries

All our beers, ciders and perries are produced by small independent craft brewers and cider makers from Worcestershire, Shropshire and the West Midlands. We currently use the following breweries as our main suppliers:-

  • Cannon Royal
  • Enville
  • Hobsons
  • Kinver
  • Sadlers
  • Teme Valley

We can provide beer from other breweries on request.

We currently use the following cider and perry makers as our suppliers

  • Barbourne
  • Tardebigge

Again we can provide cider and perry from other producers on request

 

How the beer is supplied.

We will supply the beer in one of two conditions either with a sediment or bright.

As real ale is a living product the yeast in it continues to work which stops the beer from going flat. The down side of this is that it produces a sediment at the bottom of the cask and if the cask is moved around the sediment gets mixed in to the beer making it hazy. The upside is that with the sediment retained , the beer in the cask, once opened, will stay fresher for longer.

If we supply the beer bright the sediment will be removed and the risk of haziness will also be removed. This is ideal if you are likely to be moving the beer at the last minute. The downside is that the beer will become flat sooner. The beer will remain in good condition for around 48 hours after it is first opened. We would recommend using bright beer if it is likely to be served by people who are not used to dealing with real ales.

Beer is supplied in either

  • Casks which hold 72 pints. All casks are provided with a tap.
  • Polypins and mini pins which hold either 36 or 18 pints respectively. These are similar to wine boxes and have the advantage that they can be easily transported and carried.

Why not consider using a handpump to serve the beer - we can supply those too. We will design and provide a personalised pumpclip for you to go on the handpump.

We can also provide a range of bottled real ales and ciders from the suppliers listed above. Have you considered giving your best man beer or cider as thank you gift? Details are available on request

The beer and cider will be delivered either to you, your venue or your catering company on a day and time to suit your needs.

 

Glasses

If you are buying beer and cider for your event have you thought how you will serve it? Some couples choose to give their guests engraved pint or half pint glasses. Each glass can be engraved with details of your happy day and guests can take them home as a memento of your wedding. Details of then range and cost of providing such glasses can be provide on request.

 

Bar Services

If you or your caterers do not want to serve the beer we can provide outside bar facilities based around real ales and cider. We provide a range of wines and a limited range of spirits. We can also provide keg beers on request.
