Our current cask ale range:

Hobsons Twisted Spire:
ABV: 3.6% . Award winning brewery, Hobsons has just added new cask ale, Twisted Spire to its line up. Named after the twisted spire of Cleobury Mortimer Church in the market town where Hobsons is based, Twisted Spire is a blonde beer.
Twisted Spire is brewed with the same environmentally aware philosophy as all other Hobsons beers – a blend of the finest, natural, local ingredients, traditional techniques and cutting edge, energy efficient equipment. The result is a pale, crisp, low-gravity beer with a light, natural fizz and citrus notes that will appeal to the palates of both the die-hard ale drinker and potential lager convert.


Shropshire Gold:

ABV: 3.8%. A light copper coloured ale, the complex malt grist gives an unusual blend of body and dryness. The beer is triple hopped using finest British Goldings and Slovenian Styrian Goldings to give plenty of fruity aromas and flavours.  Shropshire Gold was first brewed in July 1998.

 

Three Tuns XXX:
ABV:4.3%.A renowned beer from a recipe passed down by the Roberts family who owned the brewery for several generations; a pale-straw-coloured, premium bitter with simple, light malty-sweetness, delicately balanced with light bitterness of floral, earthy character.

 

Old Speckled Hen:
ABV: 4.5% .Old Speckled Hen" was first brewed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Named after an old MG car which was used as the factory run around, they would park the old MG Featherweight Fabric Saloon outside the paint shop where it would normally get spattered in paint and so it became known as the ‘Owld Speckl’d Un’. This turned into "Old Speckled Hen" when the beer was unveiled.
Since then the finely balanced beer with a distinctive rich malty taste and fruity aroma has attracted many fans."Old Speckled Hen" has a full, smooth flavour and is very easy to drink. Its rich amber colour and superb fruity aromas are complemented by a delicious blend of malty tastes.
Toffee and malt combine with bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a balanced sweetness. This is followed by a refreshingly dry finish.
