Craft

A beer born out of a conversation

between Master Brewers Alan

Pugsley of Shipyard Brewing Co.

and Simon Yates of Marston’s to

craft a classic American Style Pale

Ale to satisfy the growing thirst of

British drinkers for American Craft

Beers.

Discover Shipyard American Pale

Ale bursting with fruity citrus hop

aroma and flavour. Dry hopped

with a quartet of four American

hop varieties – Chinook, Cascade,

Columbus & Centennial.

Our Craft Lager, created by

Master Brewer Simon Yates,

inspired by blending new world

hop character beers with old

worldy continental lagers. Crafted

with lager malt and a hop blend

of German Hallertau Magnum &

Traditional, Slovenian Styrian

and dry hopped with British

Admiral & Boadicea varieties to

deliver a refreshing sessionable

lager with subtle orange flavour

A pale ale with a twist from

Simon Yates, Master Brewer

at our Park Brewery in

Wolverhampton. Inspired by

certain American brewers, the

inclusion of rye crystal malt

adds a distinctive spicy and

nutty malt flavour to a pale ale

packed full of fruity hop

character, from a cocktail of

five different American hop

varieties

Created by brewers Jon

Tillson and Dave Carter at the

Wychwood Brewery in Witney

to deliver their take on the

American influenced style of

pale ale, made with a blend of

darker malts. This produces a

deceptively darker beer with a

refreshingly big fruity hop

character from a blend of six

different hop varieties.

Many years ago, before hops were introduced into brewing, ale was flavoured with locally

grown herbs and spices. In a modern twist on an age-old technique, Banks’s Botanical

Beer has an addition of a secret blend of “Gruit” – the mediaeval term for such infusions.

The ingredients of the Gruit have been carefully chosen, however, to complement and

accentuate the hop flavours – spicy, citrusy, peppery and floral. Banks’s Botanical Beer –

a true taste of yesterday; today; and tomorrow!
