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 National Park at 1,400 feet<br />

their faith and money into creating<br />
their very own brewery.<br />
The tranquil Orkney<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 />

is soft and smooth yet builds<br />

of massive hoppiness<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 />

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 />

- it became CAMRA Supreme<br />
