O’bama Irish Stout 3.8% abv. A dry malty Suffolk style stout named in good humour after the new president of the USA and in support his greener policies on renewable energy and energy conservation. I think he would approve of our green brewery and improved ‘special relationship’ with a greener USA!
O'Bama Extra Stout 6.8% abv. Our original 'O'Bama Stout was inspired by the song "There's no-one as Irish as Barack O'Bama". In the hope that America's environmental stance is about to change we have revisited the O'Bama theme to highlight the need for the US to agree to a binding carbon reduction at the Copenhagen conference in December. The beer is a strong hoppy stout, dry hopped with English BramblingCross which gives the beer it's American hop aroma!

Hard Times 4% abv. A very refreshing clear wheat beer named after hard economic times and the folk song 'Hard times in old England' also the interesting and relevant fact that Wheat Beer was brewed in times of bad harvest when there wasn't enough Barley Malt (The German 'Purity Law' was brought in to prevent a there being a serious wheat shortage for bread making when wheat malt was used instead of barley).
Elderflower Ale 3.5% abv. A very floral but hoppy Ale, light in colour. The flowers were gathered along the footpaths of Groton and Edwardstone in rural Suffolk. In fact the taste of an early summers day in the fragrant lanes of Suffolk.
