FESTIVAL SPECIALS

Brewery	Name	ABV	Notes
Atomic	Firebox	3.7	This firebox is stoked with green chillies. This’ll make your chimney smoke!
Barrowden	Black Five	5.0	Type of steam loco – spotted UK wide. First ever porter from this brewery – very rare.
Bees	Bee 3	4.6	Named after the Type B3 steam loco featured on our logo. Reddish coloured.
Bells	Superheater	15.0	Super charged rocket fuel. The strongest beer we have ever featured.
Belvoir	Side Tracked	4.5	Fruity chestnut beer for a wander off the ‘beaten track’.
Brunswick	Valour	4.6	We helped to brew this with 4 different hops. The name of the loco on our logo.
Church End	Blood & Custard	4.4	Colour of bygone railway coaches – prevalent on the GCR. Cranberry fruit beer.
Church End	Jersey Lily	4.5	Nickname for the GCR C4 Atlantic Class. Banana flavoured porter.
Fugelestou	Butler Henderson	4.0	Famous Great Central loco preserved as part of the National Collection. Porter.
Full Mash	Windcutter	4.5	Sadly, not a cure for overindulgence, but the name for a type of freight train, specific to the GCR. Pale refreshing best bitter.
Full Mash	Wheeltapper	4.8	Tap yourself after this one, to see if your wheels are OK. Smooth full-bodied porter.
Kinver	Ghost Train	4.7	Distant whistles for some? All aboard!
Langton	Beer Engine	4.3	How many miles to the gallon will you get? Actually a device for pumping beer!
Nobbys	High, Wide & Handsome	4.5	Phrase penned by Sir Sam Fay for its fast, luxurious travel. Chestnut colour best bitter.
Oldershaw	First Class	3.8	Always First Class beers from this crew.
Parish	Tender Behind	4.7	Careful how you ‘couple up’! Darkish, stoutish beer.
