Blue Monkey Brewery:

Infinity

ABV: 4.6%   COLOUR: Pale

PRODUCTION STATUS:  Brewed year round, always available.

DESCRIPTION:  An infinitely satisfying pale ale, brewed with Citra hops from the USA for a punchy hop presence.  Since its introduction in 2011, Infinity has rapidly become one of our best selling beers and is perfect for lovers of modern style ‘hop forward’ beers.

FACT: Infinity is named after the ‘Infinite Monkey Theorem’, which states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually type the complete works of Shakespeare!

Sanctuary

ABV: 4.1%   Colour: Copper

PRODUCTION STATUS:  Brewed year round, always available.

DESCRIPTION:  A traditional light copper coloured ale, but with a hoppy twist.  Sanctuary is a great choice as a regular session beer as it has a moderate ABV and traditional colour, but is spiced up with a generous and unusual combination of German and American hops.

FACT: This beer is designed to have very broad appeal, satisfying drinkers who like traditional, copper coloured session beers whilst also having a punchy hop presence to put a smile on the face of hop-lovers everywhere!

Hinckley CAMRA 2010 Beer Festival: Overall Champion

An unusual combination of fruity hoppyness with a dark, malty side.  This beer is distinctly difficult to categorise – is it sort of a porter or maybe a mild?  You decide!

ABV: 4.2%

Colour: Dark Ruby

Hops: Pilgrim, Celeia, Others

Availability: Year Round

Guerrilla

Our double gold medal winning, revolutionary stout.  A hearty 4.9% beer full of malty complexity balanced by a robust bitter bite.

ABV: 4.9%

Colour: Black

Hops: Northdown

Availability: Year Round, but please book ahead as we have a waiting list for this beer.

Ape Ale, Strong Ale

A pale, strong ale.  A complex and sophisticated IPA, using assertive American hops.  Aromas of resinous pine, orange and just the right level of citrussiness. A dry finish and moderate bitterness make this deceptively quaffable for its 5.4%, so take care!

ABV: 5.4%
Colour: Golden
Hops: Simcoe, Chinook
Availability: Year Round, but please book ahead as we have a waiting list for this beer.

Dark Drake

Delicious malty, caramel and liquorice flavours combine wonderfully in a smooth drinking velvety, oatmeal stout with a freshly roasted coffee and toffee finish.

• Gold medal SIBA national championships "Stouts & Porters category" 2011 & 2012

Duck's Courage

Nice Weather

Copper coloured fruity summer ale packed full of flavour. Blackberry, strawberry and floral rose notes in perfect balance with just the right amount of malt character. A refreshing summer thirst quencher, it's fruit salad in a glass.
