Drink Type: Best Bitter

Cwrw Am Byth

A beautifully balanced Welsh red ale with a rich, malty body and a crisp, hoppy finish. Brewed with Columbus and Citra hops for a refreshing burst of flavour. Cwrw Am Byth means Beer Forever, a motto we certainly live by here at The Red Lion!


Ledbury Bitter

Ledbury Bitter is a traditional copper colour with a noticeably bitter start. The late addition hop provides an enjoyable finish with hints of spice and citrus.


Man of Straw

A session ale made from malt smoked over a perry barrel and hopped with Worcestershire Bramling Cross.


Bass

A premium bitter with slight sweet caramel malt and fruity hop aroma. Smooth drinking sweetness with fruity raisin notes balanced by bitter hop to a gentle short bitter/dry finish. It’s a classic beer, which we buy slightly begrudgingly from ABInBev, but it is a fundamental part of our beer history.


Otter Ale

Otter Ale is where it all started. A premium ale must have full flavour and a fair strength without compromise. These two characteristics must be so cleverly balanced, that when the glass is returned to the table after that first slurp, a sigh of appreciation should be heard around the bar.


Rude Best

Moreish, traditional bitter with a delicate balance of hoppy bitterness and malty backbone.


Crossbreed (Collaboration)

A remake from 2025, but this year using Charles Faram’s experimental hop CF277 for a beer with hints of orange, spice and floral overtones.


Jouster

A well balanced all English hopped best bitter with a gentle hoppy aroma and a malty finish. Also the first proper beer Tom tried back in the nineties, which is why all this is happening now.


Red Hill

Our homage to the traditional English Ale. Amber in colour, the sweetness from the select quality malts lead to a beautiful balance of choice hops of time gone by, that give a rich and moreish flavour with pine, sweet fruit, berry and smooth spice aroma.


Cheeky Swine

A full flavoured and hoppy palate balanced by underlying fruit. Smooth, long and very refreshing.
