Rose De Gambrinus Raspberry
Fruit Lambic

Fresh raspberries are added to an intensely sour beer to give the pink
Champagne of the beer world. The lewd label fell foul of the US
authorities and had to be purified for import.

Cantillon

 

Gueuze
Blend of Young & Aged Lambics

Aromas of horse blanket and horse piss are the tell-tale signs of a wild
yeast known as brettanomyaces. It also produces acetic acid in this
intensely sour, characterful museum-piece.

Duvel
Strong 'Blonde' Ale

The most famous blond from Belgium. Pale gold with a dense rocky head showing lots of mouth-tingling carbonation from a well-judged maturation in bottle. Saaz hops give a floral and citric blast on the
nose. A beautifully balanced beer with lots of complexity.

Tripel
Trappist

From its rich tawny hue to the fine carbonation lacing its chalice goblet, this highly aromatic and rich pale ale commands reverence. Vanilla and ripe pear fruitiness is underscored by a drying, leafy bitterness. Complex and superb.

Sole Bay Brewery, Southwold, Suffolk
Broadside
Old Ale

First brewed in 1972 for the bicentenary of the battle of Sole Bay. Rich, mellow malt sweetness is cut by the tangerine fruitiness of First

Sole Bay Brewery, Southwold, Suffolk
Innovation
Strong Pale Ale

First brewed in 2007 as a celebration of the installation and commissioning of their state of the art brewhouse. An exciting hybrid of UK and US styles with Columbus hops from the Pacific north-west, Styrian Goldings fromSlovenia giving a spicy orange note, and Boadicea, a dwarf hop variety grown nearby in Framlingham which lends a lemon and lime citric edginess and energy to the bitterness. Sterile filtered, it ages subtly.

Meantime Brewery, Greenwich, London
Chocolate Beer

A combination of dark kilned and chocolate malts gives a sumptuously smooth mouthfeel to this dessert beer. Good with chocolate puddings or as a late morning restorative.

Meantime IPA
India Pale Ale

The story began in Bow London in the 1790’s and has now jumped across the river. It was originally brewed for the civil servants and troops in India, as a strong, heavily hopped beer was needed to withstand a tropical voyage. IPA is brewed with Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, giving theclassical earthy dryness overlaid with orange pekoe fruitiness of this most Maris Otter variety. The perfect foil for a mature cheddar with oatcakes.

    75cl 7.5% £8.75
Meantime  

Meantime London Porter

The first mass-produced beer for an urban market was London Porter.
This bottle conditioned recreation is a blend of two beers: a smoked bockbeer in the Franconian tradition and a well-hopped porter that captures the dark malt complexity and firm bitterness that epitomizes the style. Good with oysters, better with steak and sublime with chocolate pot.

    75cl 6.5% £8.75
Meantime Union  

Meantime Union
Vienna Style Lager

A rare example of a Vienna Style Lager popular in the 19th century. The toasty, spicy, rye grain and caramel like flavours of this good
looking tawny/red lager linger on the palate. Hopped with American ‘cascades’ giving some heft to the charred malt flavours. A must for BBQ parties.    

    33cl 4.9% £3.50
Meantime Wheat  

Meantime Weisse
Bavarian Style Wheat Beer

The defining character of a Bavarian Weisse beer is its yeast which gives the banana and clove aromas along with fabulous carbonation. There is 60% malted wheat in this beer - high even by German standards - which yields a light, zesty interpretation of the style. The ultimate refresher and perfect with Weisse Wurst.
