Revival
3.8%
ABV
 |
An immensely hoppy and refreshing bitter,
brewed to celebrate the revival of brewing in Ashcott and meant to revive
you when you need it. Light in colour but not flavour thanks to a blend of
Pale, Lager, Crystal and Wheat malts. The hops are a secret blend of three
American varieties, with American yeast providing a crisp finish. |

Milly's
3.9% ABV
|
Named after our rescue dog, Milly, this
is our dark Somerset ale, with a smooth mouthfeel and slightly roasty
finish. Some may even use the "m" word... Pale, Crystal and Wheat malts comprise the bulk of the grist,
with a hint of Roasted Barley adding the finishing touch. Traditional Fuggles and Goldings hops provide depth without being overt, while the
English yeast gives a full mouthfeel.

Merlin's Magic
4.3%
ABV

An amber fruity beer, full of malty
flavour and a bitter finish. An interesting blend of Pale, Lager,
Munich, Crystal and Wheat malts give a rich malt profile, coupled with

Peat Porter
4.5%
ABV
 |
As soon as you smell it you will know
this is one decadent porter. The rich aroma is from the healthy dose of
Chocolate malt, blended with Pale, Crystal and Wheat malts. Goldings,
Cluster
and Fuggles hops add fruitiness and earthiness to the beer, which is
fermented with an English yeast.

4.7%
ABV

Our Peat Porter, made even more decadent
with the addition of Reserve Port. The image depicts traditional peat
cutting which takes place to this day in the levels around Ashcott. As with
all our images, it was drawn by local artist Jack Sayer.

Somerland Gold
5% ABV
|
If you like your beers golden, hoppy and
refreshing then this is for you, but be careful - it goes down quickly for
5%. Pale and Wheat malts are jostling for your attention with Challenger
and Northern Brewer hops. At this strength our English yeast leaves
hints of honey.

Old Freddy Walker
7.3% ABV
 |
Champion Winter Beer of Britain 2004, and one of Roger Protz's "300 Beers To
Try Before You Die". One for the connoisseur! A rich,
dark, full - bodied old ale that really has to be tasted to be appreciated.
This beer is usually the first to sell out at beer festivals, thanks to its
blend of Pale, Lager, Crystal, Wheat and Black malts that are fermented with
an English yeast. Nugget and Liberty hops are added in abundance to provide
a healthy dose of bitterness. |

JJJ IPA
9% ABV
 |
This is one big beer. Forget the ABV,
which is just a by-product of the passion. James and Josh from the Queen's
Arms, Corton Denham, and I (hence JJJ) have a shared passion for great beers
and were lamenting the lack of true IPAs in the UK. So we decided to brew
our own version of heaven. Double IPA was just not good enough - we needed a
triple IPA. Triple the gravity, triple the colour, and more than triple the
hops. With nearly 700 kg of malt and over 11.5 kg of hops this beer is big
in every sense. In fact, it was so big and hoppy that it broke our pump!
Deep copper in colour, over the top in aroma and flavour, but somehow still
remaining (somewhat) balanced, this beer is not for the faint of heart. And
if you don't like hops, don't even think about it. But if you do, dare we
say this may be the best beer you'll ever taste. We like it so much that
upon racking we decided to make it a permanent part of the range.
