PHIPPS NBC BREWERY - PHIPPS IPA 4.3%

Tasting Notes
Golden beer relying solely on the pale ale malt in its grist for its colour. The classic blend of Goldings and Fuggles hops gives the characteristic English ale flavours to this full-bodied beer. The balance of bitterness and sweetness, allied to a smooth hoppy after-taste, creates a most drinkable pint and our flagship brew.

PHIPPS NBC BREWERY - BISON BROWN 4.6%

Tasting Notes

Another classic Phipps ale from the 1950s, this blended ale was always the perfect marriage of Ratliffe’s Stout and IPA with a dash of Gold Star. The hoppiness of Phipps signature ales cuts through the smooth body of a creamy stout

PHIPPS NBC BREWERY - RED STAR 3.8%

Tasting Notes
This is a deep red, nutty 3.8% bitter based on the old NBC recipe, passed on to us by Pat Heron who started at NBC in 1954. 

PHIPPS NBC BREWERY - RATLIFFE'S CELEBRATED STOUT 4.3%

Tasting Notes
  

This is a creamy, full bodied malty brew, satisfyingly rich with distinct caramel and coffee notes. A combination of crystal and roasted malts give the stout its deep, dark flavour topped of with a creamy thick tan head. Unlike some stouts, it isn't overly bitter due to careful use of traditional English hop varieties in the brewhouse.
