Welcome to The Brew Master’s Choice Selection

Cyclops & Handpulled AleThe Cyclops scheme is a simple taste guide to handpulled ales.

It uses easy to understand descriptions and distinctive eye, nose and mouth symbols so you can see at a glance what different ales look, smell and taste like before you even try or buy one.

It also displays the style and strength of the beer and gives each ale a score out of five for how bitter and sweet it is.

Handpulled ale is a natural, crafted product that is a delight to drink and has been at the heart of the British pub since its beginnings in the Middle Ages.

If you are a keen cask ale drinker or just fancy something a little different, you will find a great range of ales within the Brew Master’s Choice selection.

We will be serving some of these ales very shortly. However, if there is a particular ale that you would like to try, please let us know - if there is sufficient demand, we’ll get some in for you to try.
