  Hix Oyster Ale 500ml
  Hix's own brew and winner of 2 stars at the Great Taste Awards 2009. From a long-established family brewery, Palmers in Bridport, Dorset, pours a pleasing deep brown, almost black colour and throws a fine-bubbled, long-lasting thick head. Quite smooth, with hazelnuts, cocoa and caramel, the dark malty flavours display a hint of sweetness. Real emphasis on fruit and nuts, and yet not too heavy or cloying on the palate.

  Sharps Chalky's bite 330ml
  A fascinating Cornish beer with great complexity of flavour, emulating some of the best Belgian ales. Wild Cornish fennel and wheat are added before being matured for three months. Should hit the spot with oysters and more complex foods such as mutton and well-aged meats.
