Real Ales
At The Bell Inn we are proud of our range of Real Ales. We have a great selection of very local and regional cast beers to choose from, or maybe you could try them all! We often have new guest ales so there is always something to tempt you. Examples of some of our current beers are below.
Purity Brewing Co.
From a microbrewery in Great Alne in Warwickshire, Purity beers are handcrafted and brewed using only premium ingredients. By dedicating their efforts to the highest standards they create beers that are distinctive, characterful, and above all satisfying.
Purity – Pure Gold
At 3.8% ABV it is a refreshing Golden Ale. Made with English Maris Otter Malt, East Kent, and Styrian Golding Hops, creating a surprisingly smooth, easy-drinking beer with subtle citrus flavours.
Purity – Pure UBU
Named after the faithful canine friend and the protector of secrets at Purity, Ubu is at 4.5% ABV and is a distinctive premium amber coloured beer. Made with English Maris Otter, Crystal & Black Malts with Challenger and Cascade hops, creating a balanced full flavoured ale that is a pleasure to drink. This ale is the Silver Medal Winner of ‘ The champion Beer In Warwickshire 2006’.
Hobsons Best Bitter
Established in the Wyre Valley in 1993, Hobsons is a small brewery in the heart of the English countryside. Their Best Bitter is a pale amber brown, medium bodied beer (only 3.8% ABV), with a strong hop character throughout. Consequently, it is bitter, but with malt discernable in the taste.
Old Speckled Hen 4.5% ABV
A popular Ale – Auburn/Copper in colour, has a warming taste of fruits and malt.
