Sharp's - Doom Bar 4.0% ABV "It's distinctive aroma and very fine balance sets it truly apart from other beers taking unsuspecting first time drinkers by surprise with its moreish appeal. Doom Bar has achieved an international cult status, and is the best selling locally produced beer in the entire South West region."

Badger Beers (Dorset) - Tanglefoot 4.9% ABV "Traditional premium ale, light golden in colour. Noticeable floral dry hop aroma balanced with biscuity and fruity notes."

Dorset Brewing Company (Weymouth) - Durdle Door 5.0% ABV "A dark highly quaffable ale with a superb palette."

Ringwood Brewery - Old Thumper 5.6% ABV "Peppery, spicy aroma with hint of apples. Palate Luscious balance of grain and hop in the mouth, bitter sweet finish with delicate fruit notes. A warm, rounded yet surprisingly delicate pale strong beer."
Voted Champion beer of Britain by Camra in 1988.

Hopback Brewery - Summer Lightning 5.0% ABV "The original Summer ale brewed all year round. An extremely pleasant bitter, straw coloured beer with a terrific fresh, hoppy aroma. This, coupled with an intense bitterness, leads to an excellent long, dry finish. Probably the beer to receive the most awards in Britain!"

Palmers Brewery - DORSET GOLD 4.5% ABV "A truly golden premium ale, refreshing and thirst-quenching, full, fruity and lightly hopped with Kent goldings"
