Cask Ales
(cask marque awarded)
Our cellar at the Derwentwater Arms is cut deep into
the white peak rock; perhaps this contributes to the condition of our
excellent cask ales. Theakstons Best Bitter and the ever popular
Fullers London Pride are the two constant cask ales offer. We also
serve guest ales from around the country.
Theakstons Best Bitter 3.8% Theakstons Brewery, Masham (North Yorkshire)
A
yorkshire beer brewed in the traditional way using pure dales water. A
well hopped light golden session bitter with a distinct, dry refreshing
taste.
Fullers London Pride 4.1% Fullers Brewery, London
London Pride is a smooth and astonishingly complex beer, which has a
distinctive malty base complemented by a rich balance of well developed
hop flavours from the target, challenger and northdown varieties in the
brew.
