A few changes happening at the pub as we head into winter… starting with NEW B**R!!!!!
First up, I’m heading back to my Castle Rock roots with Elsie Mo from Castle Rock Brewery.
Elsie Mo is a gorgeous golden ale,smooth and mellow, with a delicate citrus aroma, floral flavours and just enough hoppiness. A really lovely, easy-drinking pint and one I’m very happy to have on the bar. ( its Petes favourite pint)
And when it starts getting dark before bedtime, it’s definitely time to start looking for the porters and stouts.
So, throughout winter we’re going to have a dedicated dark b**r line, changing regularly so there’ll always be something different to try.
We’re starting with one of my absolute favourites…
TITANIC PLUM PORTER this is a rich, dark and beautifully smooth porter, with sweet plum and vanilla flavours alongside the proper roasted, hoppy character of a porter. Despite being dark it really isn’t heavy, the fruit makes it surprisingly easy drinking. If you think you don’t like dark b**r, this might be the one that changes your mind!
A GLUTEN-FREE B**R LINE IS COMING!
In the next few days our first guest b**r will be from Dancing Duck Brewery in Derby. Their b**rs cover everything from crisp, citrusy pale ales to bitters, IPAs and rich dark stouts, this line will change but will always stay gluten free.
So this winter at the Anchor there’ll be new b**rs, a permanent dark line and a gluten-free line, with plenty of guest b**rs appearing along the way.
