Ales, Stouts & Porters

Appearance: Take a butcher’s at this beauty. Pours out darker than a chimney sweep’s hat.

Aroma: Stick yer nose in and have a good sniff. You’ll get a proper whiff of dark sweet malt, with a cheeky hint of rye spice. There’s notes of chocolate and sugar like the smell waftin’ out of the baker’s at dawn.

Flavour: Now, take a swig and let it roll over yer tongue. You’ll get a rich, roasted malt flavour, with chocolate and caramel notes, balanced by the spicy kick of rye. It’s like a walk down Borough Market, with all the best flavours comin’ together in harmony. There’s a touch of smokiness and a bit of toffee sweetness at the end.

Mouthfeel: This Rye Porter’s got a medium body, smooth as a London cab ride, with just the right amount of fizz to keep things lively. It’s as comforting as a warm scarf on a chilly day, and goes down as easy as a cheeky pint with yer mates.

Pairings: Perfect with a plate of pie and mash, a hunk of mature cheddar, or a slice of rich, sticky pudding. From the MAC Collective kitchen, i’m choosing Loaded Fries, or whatever the guys have on the smoker. It’s the ideal pint for those cold nights when there’s a fire roaring or when it’s flogging with rain and Bucketty’s packed with good company.

Pommy geezer version for a Pom beer.

IMO like any good dark beer, this gets better when it warms up a touch.

Name: Rye Porter

Style: English Porter

Hops: Chinook, East Kent Goldings

An imperial porter that's as suave as Roger Moore and as indulgent as a perfectly toasted S'more.

Ginger Beer, Cider & Sours

  • Style: Ginger Beer
  • Aroma: Slightly sweet, ginger spice
  • Flavour: Ginger
  • Hops: IS NOT GLUTEN FREE
  • About: Yes. Yes we do! After being asked every day if we have a ginger beer, the answer is finally a resounding YES! This brew is packed full of gingery spice and goes perfectly with a wedge of lime.
  • Style: Cider
  • Aroma: Apple/Lemon Myrtle
  • Flavour: dry cider but not tart, lemon, apple, hint of honey
  • About: We used Granny Smith apple juice which usually makes a tart cider. It fermented out quite low which gives it that dry finish. We decided to use up the left-over honey to back sweeten it a bit then thought the left-over lemon myrtle might make this cider a bit different than just a run-of-mill tart cider. The result is a dry but somehow balanced cider with notes of apple, lemon myrtle, and a touch of honey

This dry sour is packed with fresh yellow plum puree to give a fresh and fruity flavour.

  • Style: Kettle Sour

  • Notes: Fresh Plum, Young Fruit, Dry / Fresh
  • Hops: Superdelic
