The Tap Room sells 4 house brews in cask & two house brews from keg. Ciders are also available. Guest ales from other parts of the country are available at Sulwath’s annual Beer Festival in May.

The brewery is open for visitors Mon-Sat 10am-6pm all year.

Signature beer

Galloway Gold - A superlative Blonde Ale with full refreshing taste.

Utilising best lager and wheat malts with continental hops, which leave a hint of citrus on the palate. 5.0% ABV.

Criffel - Our original beer, taken from an old recipe, is an India pale ale (amber in colour). Full-bodied, with a distinctive bitterness taken from Goldings and Fuggles hops to give it a heightened aroma with fruit to the fore of the taste with the hop becoming dominant in the finish after taste, this produces a distinctive 4.6% ABV, and still one of our most popular products.
