It's not all about the craft beers - we also have traditional ales! Often in bottles, still and best served at room temperature, real ales have made Britain famous.
They can be more malty, like best bitters, amber and brown ales - hoppy, like traditional IPAs, pale ales, golden and blonde ales - or dark and roasty with traditional stouts and porters.

Probably the best word ever. Cwtch (rhymes with butch) can mean either cuddle or cubbyhole. Grab a glass, relax and cwtch up with this untraditional Welsh red ale - a perfect blend of six caramelly malts and three citrussy American hops.
It isn’t your average bitter - the hops do more to this deep amber coloured beer than just provide bite. Any old hop can do that! We’ve selected some of the most aromatic and tangy hops from the other side of the pond to give this red a fresh hit that complements the caramel flavours of the malts that gives this beer its colour. Drinkability and balance makes this beer.
We love a good Cwtch, and we’re not the only ones…

No really, they're being deadly serious.
It's always been a running joke that Polly's should produce a Best Bitter, often getting a chuckle from their team whenever it's mentioned.
With it now being a full calendar year since some of us have been to the pub though, they all agreed that one of the things they've missed most throughout this whole lockdown period has been the familiar warmth of a pint of cask bitter.
Whilst they're not going as extreme as racking off a load of firkins, they are confident enough in their own abilities as a brewery now that they are comfortable producing a style of beer that, whilst not dripping in insane dry-hopping rates, gives that familiarity of the pub that is within literal touching distance.
Letting the malt lead here, they've gone for small additions of Cascade and East Kent Goldings for a pleasant bitterness, and fermented out with SO4 for a little bit of haze to remind that this is definitely Polly's.
