Brewed since 1998 Golden Pig is our signature ale, achieving a silver award at the prestigious Champion Beer of Britain 2011. Golden Pig has a beautiful balance of Marris Otter and Crystal malt with a Challenger hop.
A warm golden ale packed full of flavour with a slightly sweet smooth after taste.

Flat as a witche's. Took it back to the bar and was told that's how it's supposed to be. Didn't believe it. Still don't.

Hand-pulled pint on 6th Dec 2019; The Panniers, a Wetherspoon's pub in Barnstaple. Golden body, as the name might suggest, white crown on top. Floral and citrus leanings in both the aroma and taste, light malty base, mild bitter finish.
