Following a period when we were unable to get adequate supplies of this most famous of all English beers, normal service has been resumed and Bass is firmly back on the bar at the Lodge.

We have sold Bass for nearly 40 years.

That speaks for itself.

Tyneside Blonde is a pale coloured thirst quenching session beer.

The recipe uses maris otter malted barley, wheat malt and an abundance of bittering and aromatic hops.

Black Sheep Best Bitter 3.8%

Black Sheep Best Bitter

The original stalwart of the Black Sheep range from Masham in the Yorkshire Dales.

Brewed with whole flower English hops, Best Bitter packs a genuine spiky bitterness, courtesy of Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops.

The Maris Otter malted barley offers a light sweetness that balances against the bitterness of the hops.

And of equal importance, the superb brewing water is drawn from the private well at the brewery.
