An authentic experience is hugely important to us. So is beer. Come and taste our own beers brewed by the landlord onsite, from our microbrewery here at The Bear Inn.

All our beers are made using Belgian wheat malt, the finest Marris Otter barley and a complex make up of glucose rich and modified coloured malts. Our hops are sourced from the UK, Germany and the USA giving Black Bear real ale its varied and distinctive bitterness, diverse flavouring and interesting aromas.

CORE BEERS

Black Bear beers have been specially designed to incorporate the bitterness and flavours of traditional British ale whilst adding an element of Belgian style thickness and mouth feel. Our core ale range at Black Bear Brewery consists of Black Bear Bitter and Goldihops. Two proven successes with an ever-growing fan base.

Black Bear seasonals are often crafted and released as one-off additions to our portfolio.

These have included: Grizzly Bear Ale at 3.8% to mark the arrival of Ivar Torben, the head brewers third son. Polar Bear and Bear Humbug, to flow with the autumn and winter seasons and Black Bear IPA which at a whopping 6% only occasionally makes an appearance.
