The future is unclear for the brewery – Europe’s biggest brew-pub – in Peterborough, with a threatened compulsory purchase to make way for re-development of the area. Oakham plans to find future pubs with character to slowly build a pub estate. Currently, three pubs are owned, each tied and selling cask ale. Between 60 and 100 outlets are supplied.

Seasonal beers: Tsunami (ABV 4%), JHB Extra (ABV 4.2%), 5 Leaves Left (ABV 4.5%), Kaleidoscope (ABV 4.7%), Harlequin (ABV 4.9%), Mompessons Gold (ABV 5%), Helter Skelter (ABV 5%), Old Tosspot (ABV 5.2%), Black Hole Porter (ABV 5.5%), Cold Turkey (ABV 6.3%).

JHB
Jeffery Hudson Bitter or JHB (OG 1038, ABV 3.8%):

Popular, straw-coloured, light-bodied bitter with a strong aromatic hoppy signature, hints of grapefruit marmalade, and a strong bitter and drying finish.

White Dwarf Wheat Beer
White Dwarf Wheat Beer (OG 1043, ABV 4.3%):

Full-bodied yellow-golden beer with a well-defined citrus hop, rounded off with a gentle underlying malty sweetness in the mouth but ending bone-dry with hops holding up well.

 Bishops Farewell
Bishops Farewell (OG 1046, ABV 4.6%):

Intensely hoppy and full-bodied golden best bitter. Tropical fruit flavours provide a counterpoint to the grapefruit hoppy character. An abiding dryness develops.

A summer beer.
