PERMANENTLY STOCKED<br />

otter We often get asked how or why we got into<br />

brewing. Call it destiny or 'beer's in the blood'.<br />

However it happened, it has allowed the whole<br />

family to play a role in building a brewery that<br />

reflects and respects the heritage of good beer<br />

production.<br />

DEVON AIZZY • 2.8%<br />

At 2.8% this is their lowest ABV ale,<br />

although low in ABV this really<br />

delivers in taste. Light chestnut in<br />

colour with a hint of blackcurrant<br />

this well balanced hoppy ale<br />

delivers a distinctive taste.<br />

When launched at the annual<br />

CAMRA meeting in April they<br />

could not guess the ABV.<br />

DEVON DARTER • 4.5%<br />

formerly 'High Tide' this is a fruity,<br />

copper ale. With an aroma of grapes<br />

the taste is a nutty, light bitterness.<br />

DEVON DYMPSY • 4.0%<br />

Formerly 'Cavalier' this is a smokey,<br />

smooth chestnut ale. With a lemony<br />

aroma the beer has a citrusy edge<br />

and already has a loyal following.<br />

REAL SMILER • 3.7 %<br />

a light, hoppier beer. Although<br />

essentially a summer beer, it will<br />

also appeal throughout the year<br />

due to its refreshing nature.<br />

PROPER ANSOME • 4.2 %<br />

The bitterest beer for the more<br />

discerning drinker. Malty flavoured<br />

and dark in colour.<br />

Generations of experience have taught us that<br />

consistently good beer and service make for a<br />

brewery worth remembering. That is fundamental<br />

to everything that we do.<br />

clearwater<br />

OTTER BITTER • 3.6%<br />

A light & fruity beer with good<br />

hoppy bitterness. it leaves a<br />

refreshing bitterness which<br />

prompts the next gulp.<br />

OTTER AMBER • 4.0%<br />

A beautifully polished amber. the<br />

special cara malt & carefully selected<br />

hops deliver a finely balanced bitter<br />

flavour, with hints of tropical fruit<br />

and spice.<br />

OTTER BRIGHT • 4.3%<br />

A very pale golden colour with<br />

great condition. Bright has a strong<br />

& citrus aroma. A very refreshing<br />

beer, the aftertaste is sweet with a<br />

subtle bitterness which is likely to<br />

leave you wanting more.<br />

OTTER ALE• 4.5%<br />

A very well balanced beer that<br />

delivers the flavours of quality floor<br />

malted barley nd finished with<br />

a combination of fruit and some<br />

bitterness. Its nose is a balance<br />

of malt and fruit.<br />

BREWING beer is one of the great crafts of Britain<br />

and this tradition continues in Devon’s Exmoor<br />

country by the well-named Clearwater Brewery.<br />

Using local waters and natural ingredients,<br />

this small brewery has been producing a range<br />

of cask-conditioned beers for nearly 15 years<br />

with growing success.<br />

During the last three years, Clearwater’s<br />

reputation for distinctive, quality beers has<br />

expanded from its heartland in north Devon<br />

to the whole county,

dartmoor Situated in the very heart of<br />

Dartmoor National Park at 1,400 feet<br />

above sea level we are the highest<br />

brewery in England and we believe<br />

the best!<br />

CONTRIBUTION 2012<br />

"We're just folk who love making quality beer!"<br />

We were lucky<br />

enough to get in<br />

on the ground<br />

floor of the revival of craft<br />

beer, and canny enough to<br />

grow continually throughout<br />

our existence.<br />

We have established Moonshine<br />

as a very popular local<br />

Dark Island is an iconic beer:<br />

a standard-bearer for<br />

traditional Scottish ales.<br />

In cask, this beer has twice<br />

won CAMRA’s Champion<br />

Beer of Scotland.<br />

Delicate and sophisticated yet<br />

the robust cask conditioned<br />

version of this beer was the<br />

first Scottish beer to win the<br />

BIIA World <strong>Cask</strong> Beer Gold<br />

Medal.<br />

beer and all of our regular<br />

and special beers have<br />

a following somewhere -<br />

sometimes in the most<br />

unusual places!<br />

We have one pub of our<br />

own, The Rising Sun in<br />

Nether Green, Sheffield<br />

where you can always try<br />

Our brewing story goes back to 1996<br />

when Patrick Morton and his Father<br />

Hugh decided to pursue their<br />

mutual love of fine beer and put<br />

their faith and money into creating<br />

their very own brewery.<br />

The tranquil Orkney<br />

Islands, with their<br />

fertile farming lands<br />

and fishing grounds, have<br />

been inhabited for over 5000<br />

years. The Orkney brewery<br />

is housed in the former<br />

schoolhouse in Quoyloo 1<br />

one (or more!) of at least six<br />

of our beers that are always<br />

on show alongside up to<br />

seven beers from other small<br />

breweries. Nearly all of these<br />

are sourced by swapping<br />

with like-minded brewers,<br />

Hatched in 1993, at a time when<br />

most ales on the market were<br />

brown, Rooster’s Brewing Co. fast<br />

developed a reputation for brewing<br />

ground-breaking, hop-forward pale<br />

ales that showcase exciting new<br />

hops from the USA.<br />

We are an independent<br />

traditional<br />

brewer based near<br />

York in North Yorkshire.<br />

The location was originally<br />

chosen because of the water<br />

suitability and also access to<br />

the distribution network.<br />

Our new building and 30<br />

barrel brew plant is capable<br />

of brewing twice daily.<br />

However, we will never lose<br />

sight of our ideal that our<br />

beers should always be of<br />

the highest quality and be<br />

approachable to most<br />

discerning drinkers.<br />

GBBF BEST BITTER<br />

"The brewery has never stood still since 1999"<br />

Over the next couple<br />

of years the brewery<br />

became well known<br />

for producing unusual beers,<br />

mainly based on continental<br />

styles such as Altbier and<br />

Weiss. This enabled it to<br />

build up a good following<br />

amongst the more<br />

adventurous free trade<br />

outlets for cask beer, as well<br />

as supplying Oddbins and<br />

A citrus dominated IPA,<br />

its immediate impression<br />

is soft and smooth yet builds<br />

to a crescendo<br />

of massive hoppiness<br />

Lemon zest in colour with<br />

a clean, hoppy aroma.<br />

A resinous finish<br />

and some bitterness.<br />

Safeway on a national scale<br />

with bottled beers.<br />

GOLD 2011<br />

It soon became apparent that<br />

to succeed in a competitive<br />

market a more traditional<br />

approach to brewing was<br />

required, and that emphasis<br />

should be placed on<br />

supplying the style of beer<br />

that would please the<br />

average consumer as well as<br />

Salopian Brewery was established<br />

at The Old Dairy on the outskirts<br />

of mediaeval Shrewsbury in 1995.<br />

Since then the brewery has become<br />

synonymous with the production<br />

of top quality consistent beers.<br />

From the beginning at<br />

Thornbridge we knew<br />

that excellence and<br />

quality of process and<br />

product would be<br />

paramount to our success<br />

and delighting drinkers. Our<br />

vision was to create products<br />

that would make us of the<br />

leading new breweries in the<br />

a consistent product to suit<br />

the discerning landlord!<br />

sales have grown every year<br />

since and capacity has been<br />

increased twice in that period.<br />

We pride ourselves on<br />

the uncomplicated, natural<br />

and traditional way our<br />

beers are produced, and like<br />

to think that our customer<br />

care compliments that ethos.<br />

UK. The adoption of the<br />

Innovation, Passion and<br />

Knowledge strap line for the<br />

brewery was no hollow<br />

promotional stunt but<br />

a cultural statement of how<br />

through our many activities<br />

we would go about our day<br />

to day business.<br />

Golden, with a flora aroma and<br />

a full hoppy flavour that is<br />

balanced by a crisp dry<br />

maltiness and a rich finish<br />

The intention of the hop<br />

character is to be pronounced<br />

but not all encompassing, dry<br />

but not overtly bitter and a tiny<br />

hint of sweetness to add body.<br />

GOLD 2010<br />

Thornbridge branded beers were<br />

first brewed in early 2005 after the<br />

establishment of a 10 barrel brewery<br />

in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall.<br />

Our initial focus was on a range of<br />

cask beers that used traditional<br />

recipes but provided a modern twist<br />

"Innovation, Passion, Knowledge"<br />

Thornbridge now operates<br />

from two brewery sites.<br />

Our original Hall brewery<br />

highlights the traditional<br />

infusion mash ale system<br />

whereas the contemporary<br />

Riverside brewery highlights<br />

our ability to innovate<br />

through technology.<br />

In 1981 Woodforde’s Norfolk <strong>Ale</strong>s<br />

produced the first commercial brew<br />

of Wherry Bitter at their original<br />

brewery in Drayton, near Norwich.<br />

In 1996, just fifteen years later,<br />

Wherry Bitter was awarded the<br />

ultimate prize in the brewing world<br />

- it became CAMRA Supreme<br />

Champion Beer of Britain.<br />

finally began to rebel against<br />

the relentless blandness<br />
