Copper

Description

Copper Ale. A light biscuit malt sweetness leads to grassy hop flavours and a balanced bitter finish. Well this is a tough one, I have had lots of comments about pairing this one. I have heard it is great with Sunday roast, a good burger or curry. Personally I like it with Port Salut and oatcakes! What will you pick?

Madagascar Stout

Colour

Dark

Description

A deliciously dark, smooth stout. With hints of coffee, chocolate and vanilla. This is my favourite beer for chocolate, both for cooking and drinking with. I use in dark chocolate truffles instead of rum, chocolate baby cakes for St Patricks day. Perfect option instead of dessert wine for Chocolate espresso cake or dark chocolate tart.

Urban Red

ABV

Colour

Ruby Red

Description

Premium Ruby Ale. Rich malt flavours. Floral, fruity with spicy overtones and a well-balanced finish.

As a general rule red ales are perfect for spicy foods. I love making poached pears with this using the sweeter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

West Coast Baby

ABV

4.6%

Colour

Warm Gold

Description

Smooth easy drinking American session IPA with a tantalising fruity aroma and an abundance of tropical fruit flavour.

This is definitely a sipping in the sunshine kind of beer! Try marinating some mackeral with chilli and lime and putting it on the BBQ. The west coast hops work so well with the citrus spice and cut through the oily fish.
