Our first store opened in 2013 right in the heart of this bustling market city. We showcase an extensive range of modern craft beer, traditional ales & lagers, world class foreign beers and a small but carefully curated selection of natural wines, ciders and spirits. Enjoy a cold one from our fridges, or choose from the all-star 10 tap lineup, all available to drink in or take away!
Opening times
Below is a live list of beers that we currently have in stock in St Albans. If you'd like to reserve a specific beer for collection, then please call 01727 842598 and we'll be happy to put it behind the counter for you to come by and pick up.
Our shops have a range of taps with continually changing cask and keg beer to drink in, or take home in 1 or 2 litre sizes and occasionally 500ml bottles. We fill one-way disposable containers (included in the prices below) or reusable growlers, both available in store. Tap take home beer is best enjoyed as fresh as possible, ideally within 2-3 days.

Once Upon A Time In Manchester: English Pale
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
A bright, modern English Pale Ale with soft bitterness, citrus fruit notes, and subtle floral depth.
This Once Upon In Manchester is a tribute to English Pale Ale, brewed with Robinsons’ historic yeast and CF312 – a new English experimental hop from Charles Faram. A nod to Manchester’s brewing past, and a taste of what’s to come.

Aglow
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
A bold West Coaster, this is the little sibling of our Crystallography series, with all the hop burst and clean finish but in a lighter and crisper body.
This edition is hopped with Columbus and Strata for full-on dankness, with deep grapefruit and tropical flavours and pine resin on the finish

Kraai
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
We had the pleasure of hosting Menno Oliver to brew up a rare beast of a Black IPA. Nelson & Riwaka take the lead with a touch of Sabro to balance the dark malts and bold hops.

Día Soñado
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
Hola, mis amigos. We've got another crispy lager for your summer enjoyment. The introduction of maize and an extra helping of rice to this lager gives it a subtle malt sweetness and lingers on your tongue. This lager is super refreshing and we won't mind if you add a wedge of lime either.

Private Dreams And Public Nightmares
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
We believe our 7% DDH IPAs provide one of the best platforms for our hops to work in tandem with just the right amount of alcohol and our soft malt base. We decided to throw as much juice as possible at this one, teaming up Nelson, Nectaron, Rakau & Motueka to create a true New Zealand hop bomb. The aroma is dank, heavy, and sweaty, while the taste elevates to a sweet shop-like mix of fruits. This beer features stone fruits from beginning to end with a touch of bitterness that lingers on your palate for mere moments.

Clouds
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
For this next DDH Pale, we've gone back to the trusted Mosaic to lead the way. This versatile hop forms the backbone of many modern beers and delivers a dank, sweaty profile that we're familiar with. There's bright citrus notes followed by a savoury pine finish that creates a perfect blend of classic West Coast and modern New England flavour profiles.

Hooked On Motueka
Cloudwater
From Cloudwater:
Motueka has always been a firm favourite here at the brewery. Lime and gooseberry burst from this hop; it also maintains a bold, juicy front with a very drinkable finish. This DDH IPA is no different; Motueka doesn't hide, and the slightly paler shade of haze gives it away. It's zesty, soft, and creamy, while presenting clean flavours that mask the ABV nicely. We hope you enjoy revelling in this Motueka dream!

Medium Sussex Cider
SeaCider
CASK
From SeaCider:
A higher volume of Gala Apple juice is added to create a pleasant Medium Cider with a great Apple flavour and a moreish finish. Our best seller and always a crowd pleaser both at the local Pub and at home. This easy- drinking Cider would be perfect paired with a Barbecue, some Friends and some blues.
