Previous Beers Offered by The Woolpack

We have had a number of guest ales over the last few months on our "Free of Tie" which enables us to offer ales outside of those supplied to us by Greene King.

Exmoor Gold

Abv 4.5% Golden Ale

Exmoor Gold was first brewed in 1986, a single malt beer designed to be a counter balance for all the mid-brown bitters and black stouts at the time. Although there are many more golden ales today,

Exmoor Gold still stands as a premium, quality golden ale that gives plenty of caramel malt to balance with the grassy and floral hop. Exmoor Gold has a bitter-sweet finish with hints of citrus fruitiness.

Castle Rock Harvest Pale

Abv 3.8% Golden Ale

Harvest Pale was first brewed for the Nottingham Beer Festival 2003 and has gone on to become a National award-winning golden beer. Harvest Pale has become Castle Rock Brewery's flagship beer and has been described by The Good Beer Guide Editor, Roger Protz, as "The finest blond beer I've drunk in many a year".

Harvest Pale is brewed using gently kilned malt and an aromatic blend of American hops. The distinct hop flavour leads to a crisp finish.

Wolf Battle of Britain

Abv 3.9% Copper

Wolf's Battle of Britain is a copper coloured ale brewed in Attleborough, Norfolk using local malt with Golding and Challenger hops. It is available in bottled form but has been made available through Greene King's guest beer list for us to serve through September.

Battle of Britain is a well rounded session ale with plenty of malt aroma and flavour with a satisfying dry finish.

Everard Tiger

Abv 4.2% Mid–Brown Ale

Everards Tiger is a mid–brown beer with a good balance between sweetness and bitterness along with its rounded toffee character.

William Everard first brewed his ale in 1849 and even today Everards is a family run business. His mission statement was "No effort shall be found wanting in the production and supply of genuine ale of first rate quality". Everards originally started brewing in Southgate Street, Leicester, and after moving to Burton in 1892, returned to Leicester in 1979 where the water is now "Burtonised" to give the same taste.
