| Hop Union | Summer Pale | Flaked Oats and extra pale two row malts in the mash add a light golden colour with a hint of creamy oats. Citra in the late boil and whirlpool add juicy, fruity hop flavours with a low bitterness. Sabro in the dry-hop adds its tropical fruit flavours to the mix. | Session Pale | 3.80% |  |
| Abbey Ales | Bath Best | A fine example of a English best bitter. A good balance of malt and hops. Sweet to the nose with a bitter finish. | Bitter | 4.00% |  |
| Bristol BF | VibeLake | A Kiwi triple threat including a brand new hop to the BBF tanks. Taiheke kicks this Session IPA off with strong citrus power and a hint of spice. Wai-iti and Moutere complete the threat bringing classic NZ stonefruit and pine. | Session IPA |
4.00% |  |
| Dartmoor Brewery | IPA | A highly drinkable, light golden coloured beer with a unique blend of hops that combine to create a superb earthy, floral and spicy flavour, finished off with tropical and citrus notes | Golden IPA | 4.00% |  |
| Wookey Brewing Co | Which Way Home | Cascade hops punch in a light hearty grapefruit base with a fruity influx of Simcoe, Citra, Pioneer and Aurora hops, making this beer easy on the palate. | Session Pale | 4.10% |  |
| Wookey Brewing Co | Cave Digger | A traditional, thirst-quenching ale like no other. With treacle caramel flavours and a hint of roasted barley, the perfect blend of classic taste and refreshing goodness. We've taken it up a notch by infusing this ale with New World Citra and Columbus hops. | Red Ale | 4.20% |  |
| Nuttycoombe | GPA | Brewed to celebrate The EURO24 Football tournament to be held in Germany. With a nod to German beer styles this beer is brewed using Pilsner malt and Hersbrucker and Mandarina Bavaria hops, slowly fermented at a lower temperature to leave a nice clean crisp finish. | German Pale Ale | 4.2% |  |
| Butcombe | Cold Matured IPA | Brewed using a bottom fermenting ale yeast (as opposed to top fermenting for ale) the beer is then matured for two weeks at 2 degrees. The process is much like lagering – and as result you get a crisp, clean lager styled finish with the body of an ale. | IPA | 4.40% |  |
| Cheddar Ales | Bed Straw | Brewed using the highest quality Pale ale, Maris Otter, Wheat, Crystal and Cara malts and heavily hopped with a blend of English Goldings, Challenger and Fuggles whole hops. | Kölsch Pale Ale | 4.40% |  |
| Dartmoor Brewery | Legend | A classic cask-conditioned beer: smooth, full-flavoured and balanced, with a crispy malt fruit finish. Legend is golden brown in colour with an aroma of fresh baked bread and a hint of spice. | Cask Ale | 4.40% |  |
| Palmers | Dorset Gold | Lightly hopped, golden premium ale. A refreshing, zesty and thirst-quenching beer, from the heart of Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Originally brewed as a summer ale and proved so popular it's now available all year round. | Golden Ale | 4.50% |  |
| Cheddar Ales | Crown & Glory | Brewed using a blend of the finest English Pale ale, Maris Otter, Crystal and Cara malts with a little bit of added Wheat. To that we have infused a wonderful concoction of Simcoe, Cascade and Bramling Cross hops that gives the beer a hop character that will delight even the most hardened hophead. | Premium Bitter | 4.60% |  |
| Twisted Oak | Solstice | A rich, dark bitter with a lovely malty finish. Brewed with English hops and English malt this is a truly superb best bitter. | Best Bitter | 4.70% |  |
| Cotleigh | Buzzard | Buzzard is a traditional dark ale brewed with pale, crystal and chocolate roasted malts and Herefordshire hops. Deep copper red in colour with the roasted chocolate malt giving a dry nutty flavour with hints of amaretto biscuit. | Dark Ale | 4.80% |  |
| Hop Union | Scallywag | Pale Chocolate and Caramalt in the mash give the dark amber colour. Dark Muscovado in the boil adds to the complexity of the malt bill. Brambling Cross in the whirlpool works with the darker malts to add hints of berry fruit with hints of chocolate. | Premium Bitter | 4.80% |  |
| Nuttycoombe | Snow Leopard | An exceptionally smooth, very light in colour, and full-bodied with a creamy head that lasts on the palette. Lowly hopped but full flavouring taste – the ultimate winner with the brewer. | Mild | 4.90% |  |
| Bristol BF | Dune Twist | Two absolute weapons come together for an all-hop-no-filler US / NZ IPA. We know it, we love it, wine-inspired crisp and fresh. Back to the West Coast of the US El Dorado takes this over the dune to the beach with tropical citrus overtones. | NZ/US IPA | 5.00% |  |
