Pub Beer List
There will usually be at least one or two Guest Beers in addition to:
Regular Guest Ales
Adnams bitter – Adnams 3.7% A refreshing beer of real flavour, distinctively hoppy and deliciously dry.
Brewers Gold – Crouch Vale 4% Supreme Champion Beer of Britain at the Great British Beer Festival 2005 AND 2006, this is a pale, refreshing and hoppy beer with gorgeous aromas of tropical fruits.
The Mill Green Beers
Loveleys Fair 4% abv. A Pale Ale brewed using a blend of aromatic hops and named after the historic location of the brewery Loveleys Green, the beer was launched at Eddyfest 08, the modern day equivalent of Loveleys Fair.
Bulls Cross Bitter 3.5% abv. A well hopped traditional Suffolk session Bitter named after Bulls Cross Wood a large remnant of ancient woodland situated across the fields at the junction of three parishes Milden, Edwardstone and Groton.
Mawkin Mild 2.9% abv. A Traditional dark Suffolk Mild packed full of flavour, the name derived from the old Suffolk term for scarecrow to remember the Suffolk farm labourers whose staple diet consisted of Mild for hundreds of years.
Mad Old John 4.2% abv. A traditional English old ale, brewed for the winter months this warming ale is available from December to February. Named after an eccentric, charismatic and good looking local old boy!!
O’bama Stout 3.8% abv. A dry malty Suffolk style stout named in good humour after the new president of the USA and in support his greener policies on renewable energy and energy conservation. I think he would approve of our green brewery and improved ‘special relationship’ with a greener USA!
‘Good Ship Arbella’ 5.4% abv. A pale hoppy American style beer brewed using American hop varieties and named after the ‘Good Ship Arbella’ which was the flag ship of a 18 vessel fleet that set sail from Great Yarmouth carrying puritan John Winthrop to Salem Massachusetts in the 1630's. He was born in Edwardstone and was lord of the manor of Groton and later became the first governor of the State of Massachusetts. Interestingly the vessel had 10,000 gallons of beer on board.
Edwardstone Pale Ale 4.2% abv. A light coloured spicy bitter originally brewed as Marathon Gold to sponsor Tom Konopka on his London marathon run.
Round Maple Mild 3.3% abv. A lightly hopped ‘pale’ mild brewed with a dash of maple syrup for summer drinking and named after Round Maple a small hamlet across the field from the brewery.
Fields of Gold Bitter 3.7% abv. A clean, well balanced, dark golden bitter, brewed at a modest alcohol level for summer thirst quenching. It is named in anticipation of our first locally grown barley crop.
Hard Times 4% abv. A very refreshing clear wheat beer named after hard economic times and the folk song 'Hard times in old England' also the interesting and relevant fact that Wheat Beer was brewed in times of bad harvest when there wasn't enough Barley Malt (The German 'Purity Law' was brought in to prevent a there being a serious wheat shortage for bread making when wheat malt was used instread of barley).
