WORLD CUP BEER - Game Day IPA officially available from today!

A beer for the summer of ’26. This is it – English and US hops - our World Cup cask IPA - could this be the recipe that brings back the FIFA Trophy to where it all began? Smoothly bittered in the traditional Flower Pots style, full of bold fruity apricoty flavours with a balanced abv at 4.2%. A really beautiful suntanned coloured ale for the beautiful game.

Memories of previous World Cups come flooding back - where were you in ’66 (they think it’s all over), ’86 (Hand of God), ’90 (Nessun dorma), ’98 (Owen wonder goal), ’06 (Golden generation), ’10 (Germany again!), ’18 (Semis), ’22 (Final) – can we go one further?

Our pre-booked Flower Pots deliveries are now available, as early as tomorrow, for fresh cask ale delivered direct to your door. A range of sizes are available with no delivery fee. Why not stock up on your favourite bottles at the same time or take a look at our new range of merchandise including bottle openers, t-shirts and hoodies.

PUB OF THE YEAR 2026 - staff and customers were recently joined by South Hampshire CAMRA Members to celebrate receiving the Pub of The Year 2026 award for South Hampshire.

Landlord of four years Simon Osborne said : "We're so chuffed with the award, it's been quite a humbling experience all round. "They judged our community, beer, atmosphere and facilities and we came out on top and that is thanks to our fantastic community who started as strangers but have all become firm friends. A massive shout out to the customers, but also our friendly team.

"We're not trying to be something we're not. We have our brilliant beer brewed just a hop, skip and jump away and locally sourced food at sensible prices."

Managing director Rupert Boissier oversees operations at the award-winning Flower Pots brewery 50 yards away which is currently undergoing an upgrade. It will allow the business to expand while continuing to keep a low profile on the site, at the edge of the South Downs National Park.

Rupert added: "The expansion will allow us to be more efficient and for both businesses to thrive. The brewery would not be here without the pub and the pub acts as tap room for the brewery."

"We're incredibly proud of the award for the pub, it's been a real team effort."

Finalist pubs, which also included Bottle & Stoat in Bedford Place, The Guide Dog in Bevois Valley and The Park Inn in Shirley, were visited by four volunteer judges, who assessed them against CAMRA's national Pub of the Year scoring criteria.
