OUR ALES




Here's how we like to describe our ales. Judge for yourself at a pub near you.

ENVILLE ALE - ABV 4.5%

The award winning ale that is responsible for the company's success today. A traditional beekeepers ale, pale yellow, a fruity bitter with an initial sweetness progressing to a complex dry hoppy taste based on an old nineteenth century recipe.

Enville Ale is produced using 100% Maris Otter floor malted barley and top fermenting ale yeast. It is processed through an initial very rapid fermentation followed by a priming process using selected honeys which are specially processed (patent pending) and then allowed to secondary ferment before being lagered (stored at cold temperature) for a precise period of time. This process enables the brewery to produce conditioned beer with a controlled yeast count in cask - the result is a traditional cask conditioned beer in which the carbonation has been carefully controlled.

GINGER BEER - ABV 4.6%

Produced using root extract ginger this ingeniously created ginger beer has a flavour which is not overpowering and is very refreshing.





ENVILLE WHITE - ABV 4.2%

This very pale straw coloured beer is brewed with 20% wheat, has a gentle hop aroma and a dry finish. It makes a very enjoyable and refreshing summer drink.





CHERRY BLONDE - ABV 4.2%

A light blonde bitter delicately infused with essence of Cherry to produce a Belgium style fruit flavoured beer. The aroma and taste surpass expectation whilst the bitter finish is dry, hoppy and refreshing.


GOTHIC ALE - ABV 5.2%

Named after Enville's unique sandstone Gothic church, this is a black beer traditionally referred to as 'dinner ale', derived from pale ale. Created using a specially produced black malt and a selection of specialised sugars, the ingredients combine with a strong roast malt taste to produce a memorable stout-like beer with lurking hints of honey adding to the roundness of the flavour.

GINGER GOTHIC - ABV 5.2%

Strong dark ale made from black malt, a selection of specialised sugars and extract of ginger. The ingredients combine to produce a memorable, stout-like beer with a distinctive taste of ginger and lurking hints of honey adding to the roundness of the fulsome flavour.


DRAGONS DEN - ABV 4.5%

Medium coloured, perfectly balanced mid-strength ale offering a truly memorable English bitter taste and body. Perfect for slaying a monstrous thirst or simply celebrating St George’s Day in patriotic style. Dragons Den is the perfect alternative for those who prefer a drier taste.


LPA - LIGHT PALE ALE - ABV 4.0%

Magnificently crafted from the finest malt and Fuggles, LPA is a traditional 'session' bitter, dry, golden and with a mellow hoppy flavour, ideal for year round, copious quaffing.




PHOENIX INDIAN PALE ALE - ABV 4.8%

Brewed primarily for drinking through the summer months this is a traditional Indian style beer brewed using the new Phoenix variety of hop resulting in a very pale and sophisticated beer. A classic flavour from classic ingredients.


CZECHMATE SAAZ - ABV 4.2%

Brewed using the single variety Saaz hop this is a light and fruity beer with a dryness which confirms it as a classic Czechoslovakian-style beer.




SIMPKISS - ABV 4.0%

A classic Midland name revived and returned to the bars of freehouses with a sense of history.

Relaunched in October 2006 Simpkiss was previously brewed by the Simpkiss Brewery in Brierley Hill. The brewery closed in 1985 but is much remembered by older drinkers in the West Midlands. It's a taste you won't forget!


OLD PORTER - ABV 4.5%

A traditional style Porter, dark in appearance and offering a complex mix of roast malt and fruit flavours with a degree of sweetness giving way to a dry finish.



SLAYED - ABV 4.5%

Specially brewed for the festive period

A medium coloured ale with a hint of spiced rum to put you in the festive mood.
Available from early December.



NAILMAKER MILD - ABV 4.0%

With a more defined hop aroma and higher gravity than its counterpart this mild enjoys a certain degree of sweetness associated with traditional mild yet gives a drier finish.


CHAINMAKER MILD - ABV 3.6%

A classic style mild, dark and well balanced with a hop aroma and underlying sweetness which, combined with the smooth malty finish, makes it an excellent example of a traditional Black Country mild.
