Peroni
Nastro Azzuro 5.1%
Nastro Azzurro is a pale lager and is the Peroni Brewery's premium lager brand which was
launched in 1963. The name in Italian means "Blue Ribbon" and it was
thus named in honor of the Blue Riband won by Italian Ocean Liner SS Rex in 1933. Peroni is the best selling pale lager in Italy and is made with
barley malt, corn grits, hop pellets and hop extract. By the 1950s and 1960s, Peroni had become the brand of beer
most recognized throughout the Italian peninsula and today, market research confirms Peroni as the most recognized
and most widely consumed Italian beer. We are pleased to sell Peroni Nastro Azzuro on draught.
Carling 4.1%
Carling beer is brewed at 137 High Street Burton on Trent where British barley is malted at various
temperaures and times to give each beer its distinct colour flavour and aroma. The history of Carling dates back to 1818 when Thomas
Carling, farmer from Yorkshire, took his family to the rich farmlands of Easter Canada. In 1840 he began a small brewing operation
in Ontario selling beer to soldiers at the local military camp. By 1878 his sons, John and William, had built a new six-story
brewery and Carling became a national name in Canada. In 1999 Carling
achieved sales of 1 billion pints in the UK, breaking the previous record and strengthening its position as the No.1 selling
lager. 2007 they sold 2.3 billion pints in the UK, over 6 billion worldwide.

Pilsner Urquell 4.4%
Pilsner Urquell was first produced in the Czech Republic in 1842 and was the first pilsner beer
in the world. The
beer is more strongly hopped than most pilsner beers and is characterised by its golden colour and clarity and it has become
immensely successful as nine out of ten beers produced and consumed in the world today are derived from the original Pilsen
beer. Before 1840,
the standard beer in Bohemia was characterized by a dark colour and inconsistent quality. The brewers in Pilsen wouldn’t
accept this and as a consequence Pilsen city council invested in a new, state-of-the art brewery and they commissioned Josef
Groll, a Bavarian brewer, to develop a better beer. On 5 October 1842, Groll had an entirely new mash ready and on 11 November 1842, the new beer
was first served at the feast of Saint Martin markets.We serve draft Pilsner Urquell at the Spitting Feathers

Grolsch 5.0%
Grolsch is a Dutch Brewery founded in 1615 by Willem Neerfeldt
in Groenlo. In 1895 the De Groen family bought the brewery. The town of Groenlo was then known
as Grolle, hence the name Grolsch, meaning 'of Grolle'. Grolsch is best known for its 5% pale larger, Grolsch Premium
Pilsner. The brewery was first operated by Willem Neerfeldt. Neerfeldt's son-in-law, Peter Sanford Cuyper, later took
over. Grolsch was, as of February 2006, the second largest brewer in the Netherlands after Heineken with an annual production
of 3.2 million hectoliters.
Old Speckled Hen 5.2%
Old Speckled Hen is an English ale originally
from the Morland Brewery and was first brewed in 1979 in Abingdon in Oxfordshire to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
MG car factory there. Since the year 2000, when Greene King bought Morland and closed down the Abingdon brewery, it has been
made at Greene King's Brewery in Bury St Edmunds. It is available in more than twenty different countries in bottles,
cans and on tap from cask and keg. We sell it at the Spitting Feathers in 500ml cans.
