Westoe IPA

(4.6% ABV)

Brewed to celebrate the opening of The Maltings brewery tap - only 150 yards from the last brewery in South Shields, namely The Westoe Brewery which closed in 1955. The pump clip is a re-created image of the Westoe Brewery IPA, but the beer is an original Jarrow recipe. A pale gold ale with a soft malt character and refreshingly complex hop aroma - easy drinking premium ale.

Birds & Bees

(4.3% ABV)
Brewer: 

 

Brewed for the summer evenings when we down tools for the day and retire to the beer garden; this bright, golden ale is a blend of pale malt, cascade and bobek hops with a late infusion of fresh elderflowers and lemon zest. Fruity, aromatic and deliciously refreshing.

Shropshire Lad

(4.5% ABV)
Brewer: 

First brewed in 1996 to celebrate the centenary of the first publication of a Shropshire Lad by A. E. Housman, this 4.5% premium bitter was an instant hit.

Its well rounded malty flavour is evocative of the county and a bucolic lifestyle.  Pale, Crystal and Chocolate malts combine to give a sweetish draught followed by a subtle bitterness and fruity overtones from the infusion of traditional Fuggles and Goldings hops from the neighbouring hop fields of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Motueka

(3.8% ABV)
Brewer: 

A pale hoppy session beer brewed with one of our favourite hops, NZ Motueka. It has flavours and aromas of tropical fruit and sweet citrus with a delicate bitter finish.

Triple Hop

(4.0% ABV)
Brewer: 

Refreshing and easy drinking golden session beer, brewed with three carefully selected hop varieties,in this case: Chinook, Citra & Galaxy

Blue Sky Drinking

A well balanced tawny best bitter.Its full bodied malty backbone is balanced by delicate citrus notes, and a clean bitter finish.

M Bomb II

Mirthless

 A very refreshing easy drinking pale ale with a very smooth finish, loaded with simcoe and citra late hops, this is one for the sunshine.

Feckless

(4.1% ABV)
Brewer: 

 

A classic best bitter, rich toffee and malt balance with the subtle flavours of challenger, first gold and target hops.

Smokeless

(5.7% ABV)
Brewer: 

 

A surprisingly approachable smoked porter, velvet smooth with a robust malt backbone. This is infused with chipotles to give even more smokiness and a subtle hint of heat.

Lincoln Gold

(4.0% ABV)
Brewer: 

A pale bitter which combines lager and traditional ale malts with English grown Cascade and Pilgrim (hop types). This results in a beer with a fruity aroma which is slightly zesty in flavour but still manages to retain some of the malt characteristics.

Gold Bitter

(4.4% ABV)
Brewer: 

A refreshing golden bitter brimming with character…not to mention citrus hops and fruit.

Haka

(4.5% ABV)
Brewer: 

Haka is a ferocious, robust, New Zealand-hopped Bitter at 4.5%. New Zealand hops are known for their power and depth, and and when combined thoughtfully as in Haka, create the most gorgeously seductive beers: enticing on the nose and bold on the palate. The real triumph of Haka is that head brewer Clive Ham has managed to create a delicacy to accompany the strength of the hops that means this can be an all-evening beer!

Windsor Knot

(4.0% ABV)

 

A 4% Pale Ale, brewed to commemorate the Royal wedding in 2011, is made with the much sought after Nelson Sauvin Hop to deliver a refreshing, tasty ale with an exotic fruit aroma.

Guardsman

(4.2% ABV)

This beer is a classic English Best Bitter, brewed with premium floor malted Maris Otter and traditional whole leaf hops including Fuggles and Goldings. The result is a lovely copper- coloured session strength ale with a tangy taste. The distinctive hop aroma is derived from use of both late hop additions and also a hop-back.
