Our beer is provided by the Wadworth brewery of Devizes, Wiltshire. Wadworth are a family run business now owned by the Bartholomew family since the untimely death of John Wadworth (who fell off a horse) and the subsequent passing away of the last line of Wadworths, Henry his son.
Wadworth have consistently made a range of fine beers since the 19th Century in their impressive Victorian brewery in old Devizes town. They have a reputation for brewing exceptional beers since 1875 and that tradition continues today.
All our beers are kept well and served correctly and we are currently aiming for the CAMRA casque mark. Lager drinkers need not be disappointed by the fact that we keep Kronenburg 1664, Carlsberg & Amstel for the slightly more discerning lager drinkers.

Our local bitter, extremely popular in Devizes and district and available throughout the Wadworth trading area - light, refreshing and sessionable.

There is a long-lasting after taste to match which eventually becomes biscuity. HENRY'S Original IPA is brewed from 92% pale malt, 6% crystal malt and 2% cane sugar. The bitterness units of 20-22 are obtained from Fuggles hops (80% of total) in the copper and Goldings hops (20%) on the hop back plates. Colour rating is 22.

Draught Guinness 4.1% ABV
Guinness beer uses several varieties (of hops), among which Goldings are perhaps the most influential. Guinness uses its original yeast, though this has been selected down from several strains to one, which was arrived at in about 1960. Guinness is now only brewed in the Dublin brewery which makes five or six principal versions of Guinness, in a total of 19 variations, and exports around 40 percent of its output. All the grain used by Guinness is grown in Ireland. The non-malt grains used in the domestic product is 25% flaked barley and 10% roasted barley.
Wide range of non-alcoholic soft drinks, alcopops & minerals are also available.
