Cask Beers Draught Beers Four cask conditioned beers, hand-pulled or straight from the cask, are usually available. However, if turnover of beer is slow, we will reduce the range as we feel it better to have three tip-top beers than four mediocre. Plastic jugs may be purchased (4pt at 90p, 8pt at £1.30, 17pt at £2.99 and 34pt at £5.99); alternatively a container is just a container, and an empty supermarket mineral water PET will suffice (and is free!). We aim to sell twoTimothy Taylor's products, always Landlord. Premium beers are favoured by our regulars: as they are being consumed at home, driving is not applicable.

Weston's was founded in 1880 by Henry Weston, and is still owned by the family. Pride of place goes to the massive 200-year-old vats in which the cider ferments and matures - these date back far before the start of the firm of course, and were bought secondhand! The 50 acres of orchards produce only a small proportion of the fruit required: the rest comes from a ten-mile radius, supplied by about 200 growers. Only cider apples are used, about 160 varieties in all. Weston's are justly proud of their perry: many people claim Weston's perry is the finest in the country, though sadly it is not widely available due to the relatively small amount made.  Westons       Classic Perry (4.5%) £44.50 Made from local specially-grown perry pears which, like cider apples, have tannic astringency. Perries are very pale in colour and have a delicate fruitiness, very much redolent of their origin. They make a wonderful summer drink and go perfectly with light meals and picnics. Perry can also take the place of light German and Italian wines at the dinner table.       Bounds Brand Scrumpy (4.8%) £44.50 One of Weston’s original 1890 draught ciders. Cloudy and very refreshing.       First Quality (5.0%) £44.50 A medium-sweet, medium strength traditional draught cider for general drinking. Used to be taken by the Great Western Railway from Dymock station to all parts of the country, even in the 1890s.     Traditional Scrumpy (6.0%) £47.00     Weston’s Classic Vintage Cider (7.3%) £49.50 Made from the fresh fruit of one year’s growth, matured in oak for a minimum of six months, where it develops its full character. A strong cider, it has a very high bitter-sweet juice content which gives it a “big” flavour, full of rich fruit character and a positive astringency. This classic cider of the south-west should be drunk for pleasure or as an accompaniment to strongly flavoured dishes such as roast meats and casseroles or the more strongly-flavoured English farmhouse cheeses.       Old Rosie (7.3%) £49.50 This is the typical cider of the shires. Left unfiltered and so naturally cloudy, it has a robust character suitable for many occasions: social drinking and with any food, especially barbecues, it takes a lot of beating.
