Cask Beer

Order Form / Price List

At your next party or barbeque, you don't have to put up with fizzy, mass-produced canned beers. You can enjoy the fresh, hoppy aroma and full, malty body of our hand-crafted cask ales. All Frog Island beers are produced by traditional methods and are brewed using only the 4 essential ingredients of top-quality English malt, predominantly English hops, water and yeast. The absence of artificial additives means there is less risk of a nasty hangover!

 

Why settle for anything less than real ale, when you can purchase any Frog Island beer in quantities of 20 litres (approximately 35 pints) or 9 gallons (approximately 72 pints)?

 

Best Bitter

A 3.8% pale brown, easy drinking beer. English Marris Otter pale malt, crystal malt and wheat malt contributes to a malty aroma with a hint of caramel. The initial roasted malt flavour is balanced by the bitterness and hop character of English Target and Fuggles hops, which linger into the aftertaste.

Shoemaker

A 4.2% copper-coloured beer with an aroma of roasted malt and a hint of passion fruit. The use of English Marris Otter pale malt, crystal malt and wheat malt produces a full-bodied, malty flavour which is enhanced by the citrus notes of American Cascade hops. The bitterness of English Target hops fades with the maltiness to result in a dry, nutty finish.

Croak and Stagger

Croak & Stagger is a 5.6% dark, full flavoured beer. This recipe for this chestnut-coloured brew includes American Cascade hops which contribute a sweet and spicy note to the aroma. The use of English Marris Otter pale malt, crystal malt, wheat malt and chocolate malt gives a flavour that is initially roasted and slightly bitter and develops to give a slight hint of dried vine fruits. The flavour of the Cascade hops and bitterness produced by the addition of English Target hops combine to produce an astringent aftertaste. In March 2004 it was crowned Supreme Champion at the Society of Independent Brewers national competition..

Order Information
  1. Due to the nature of cask ale, these products are not available by mail order. Cask ale must be pre-ordered and collected directly from the brewery at a pre-arranged time. See Order Form for details of Brewery opening times.

  2. Quantities of 20 litres are supplied in a non-returnable polypin (an easy-to-use polythene container in a box fitted with a tap). Quantities of 9 gallons are supplied in barrels. ( We also supply you with equipment to dispense the beer from the barrel, but the barrel, stillage and tap will need to be returned to us.)

  3. Beer can be supplied either "sedimented" or "brewery-racked". Sedimented beer will need to settle in a cool (ideally 14ºC) undisturbed place for 48 hours before it is ready to drink. If kept in ideal conditions, sedimented beer in polypins should remain drinkable for up to 3 weeks, whilst sedimented beer in casks should be drunk within 5 days. If you order brewery-racked beer, the sediment will be removed at the brewery, and the beer will be drinkable as soon as you get it home. Ideally, brewery-racked beer should be consumed within 2 days of purchase.

  4. Please complete the 'cask beer order' section of the order form, including the date you would like to collect your order.
