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.
