Bitters
The “National Drink of England”, Bitters make up some of the most
popular ales in the world. While the distinct, hop-derived “bitter”
notes give name to this style of beer, they are also characterized by
the crisp flavour, making it a very easy beer to drink – indeed, this is
ale you’ll begin and end an evening with.
At Tipples, our bitters are full-flavoured, but relatively modest in
strength. These are not wild, flashy beers – in fact, they will reach
your glass with the earthy, yeasty smell of the fermentation room still
intact, a fragrance that true beer lovers have known for centuries. |

Pale Ales
Despite the “pale” moniker, most Pale Ales are amber in colour, and
moderate in strength. Tipples pale ales are brewed largely from pale and extra pale malts, giving the beer a nice caramelized flavour and (sometimes) a
slightly sweet touch.
We strive for both flavour balance and subtlety. Our Pale Ales have a
healthy body, earthy English hop aroma, and rich flavour, making them a
very versatile brew – they are equally good for quaffing or enjoying
with a meal.

Milds and Dark Ales
Milds are generally dark brown in colour, with a very soft happy
bitterness. The slightly sweet, rounded caramel and chocolate flavours
make this a popular style, and the pleasantly fruity aromatics and
clean finishes make milds a pub favorite.
Tipples Milds are light in alcohol, and are very easy to drink. In
fact, one could say they are the definitive "session pints," designed
for quaffing amongst friends.

Stouts
Black and ominous, topped with a creamy head of foam, the appearance of
a pint of stout never fails to impress. However, to reverse a cliché,
it’s really a sheep in wolf’s clothing.
Honestly - despite its stark appearance, Stouts are a very friendly
style of beer. It’s the precision roasting of malts and raw barley that
gives it its black colour and high-roast flavour. However, despite the
rich flavour, a stout is actually light. Dry, brisk, and light, to be
exact.
Tipples Stouts are designed for evenings at the pub, where they can be
enjoyed in reasonable quantities. The hearty hop flavour combines with the
roasted notes of espresso and dark chocolate. This results in an ale
that is refreshing and light, but also immensely robust and flavourful,
and tastes great cold or at room temperature.

What’s the difference between ‘ale’ and other beers?
Go to your local supermarket – see row after row of that weak, yellow, fizzy stuff? That stuff they tell you to serve “ice cold”? That stuff that is akin to the big brand beers (like Budweiser, etc)? That stuff that’s “guzzled” in movies (and in real life by “Lager Louts” nationwide.)
That’s what most Lager has become. Light, tasteless beer (if you can call it that), meant to be served ice cold (and you know why, don’t you? The ice cold temperature hides the lack of flavour.)
This style of beer is so devoid of character and freshness that it is made with the intent that it lasts for months on store shelves. Additionally, substandard ingredients (like rice or corn) are mixed in as filler.
This leaves more money for huge marketing campaigns, which they do very well.
“Drink this” says the telly, and the vast majority of the populace will do just that. Despite the fact that it tastes like… well, let’s be polite here, but suffice to say, it tastes pretty bad.
We got into this business to do the exact opposite of the above. At Tipples, we don’t simply “brew” beer.
We craft it.
We craft beer (or more precisely, Ale) of such quality that once you taste it, you will never go back to the “other” style again.
But talk is cheap - we invite you to pour (or draw) a pint of any one of our fine ales.
