BEOWULF BREWING COMPANY BEERS
MANGO SYPIAN
Barrel 4.3%
Bottle 4.5%
Mango Sypian (pronounced ‘sippian’) is the newest beer in the Beowulf range. Sypian translates as ‘to sip or drink’ in Old English. It has bursts of juicy mango, combined with a tropical hoppy aroma. This is a pale ale which is refreshing and moderately dry on the palate, with a smooth and delicately bitter finish.
HANDOVER
Barrel 3.8%
Bottle 4.0%
Handover is a session pale ale packed full of unique, distinct and very moreish flavour. Using new Most hops from the Czech Republic, this ale was designed to be enjoyed all year round, day and night with notes of blackcurrant, pineapple and grapefruit it has a taste that just keeps giving long into the aftertaste. The name, Handover, came from the literal handover of Beowulf brewery from founder Phil to new owner Joe in April 2022 and was born to commemorate this occasion.
WULF
Barrel 4.3%
Bottle 4.5%
Wulf is Beowulf Breweries flagship pale ale. It headlines the pale ale selection from the brewery and is delightfully quaffable in taste, a true 'easy-drinker'. The name is obviously taken from the word Beowulf but the beer also uses Wolf hops - it was a match made in Beowulf folklore! This is a golden and hoppy pale ale with a hint of grapefruit and passionfruit - a proud, single-hop beer that is both crisp and refreshing.
WERGILD
Barrel 4.3%
Bottle 4.5%
Wergild is a cask conditioned lager ~ still a rarity amongst real ales. This is a skilful, continental mixture of bitterness and fruit.
ZWODDER
Barrel 4.0%
Bottle 4.2%
Zwodder is an Old English word that has fallen out of everyday conversation. I think we can all agree, it needs to be revived. If you are in a ‘Zwodder’, you are said to be in a drowsy, muddled-headed or hazy state of mind. Zwodder is a moreish session pale ale packed full of full-bodied, rich and smooth flavours. Using Olicana hops from the UK, this ale has floral notes and hints of mango and passion fruit. There’s no doubt you’ll soon embrace the Zwodder!
BRIM
Barrel 4.5%
Bottle 4.6%
In Old English, Brim translates to surf, shore, wave and the water’s edge. A fitting name born from our location here in Chasewater on the edge of the reservoir. It is a premium pale ale bursting with freshness. Golden in colour, it has hoppy notes of passion fruit, pineapple and peach with its mixture of the finest UK hops it is to be enjoyed year-round.

Mercian Shine is a pale bitter ale with a fresh, hoppy and fruity aroma and a dry finish. Its bitterness dances on the palate.
IPA
Barrel 7.2%
Bottle 7.4%
