Stables, Beers

As I mentioned the Stables Brewery in the last blog, I thought I would be a good idea to review all of their beers I have had. Every one I have had have been from the Sun Inn or the beer tent at Beamish museum.

Just a reminder. The Sun Inn, was moved to Beamish from Bishop Auckland in the 1970s, and the inside it is set in 1913. Most of the beers sold there are now brewed locally at the stables brewery at Beamish Hall.

Stables, Beamish Burn Brown Ale from England

4.2% hazy amber colour with a good head, fruity malt aroma, bitter malt and hop taste.

Stables, Hetton Silver Band Hall Bitter from England

4.0% hazy amber colour with a thin head, citrus hop aroma, bitter citrus hop taste.

Stables, Bobby Dazzler from England

4.2% pale gold colour with a good head, some chocolate in the aroma, a smooth beer slightly sweet with some citrus, just ok.

Stables, Old Miner Tommy from England

3.7% pale gold colour with a thin head, very little aroma, it had a hoppy bitter taste with some citrus in there, good pale ale.

Stables, Beamish Hall Bitter from England

3.8% deep gold colour with a good head, not much aroma, average bitter taste.

Stables, Bell Tower from England 

5.0% dark brown almost black colour with a thin head, burnt toffee aroma, burnt roasted malt taste. Had it with our picnic, over the road in the park sat by the bandstand. 

Stables, Silver Buckles from England

4.4% light gold in colour with a thin head, slight hop aroma, citrus hop taste but slightly watery

Stables, Mahogany Drift Bitter from England

3.8% amber colour with a good head, malt and hop aroma and a good bitter taste. One criticism though, the newly designed pump clips do not fit in with the rest of the pub.
