new arrival

A little light advertising this evening. If you are, or know, a landlord in the Kent/Sussex area who can buy direct from a brewery can I recommend this cheeky little beverage?



The SouthDowns Brewery is still in its infancy but our first beer, currently brewed under contract at Kent Brewery, is definitely not untested. We have trialled it successfully for nine months in one exclusive outlet where it outsold well-known and respected brands such as Harveys and Dark Star and received a very strong positive response from a knowledgeable customer base.

Ruskins Ram is a traditional style English bitter with a sharp, clean, taste. As you lift the glass to your nose you realise its mellow maltiness is complemented by a subtle vanilla aroma. Unlike many contemporary generic brews Ruskins Ram is fully hopped to give it a unique flavour. At 4.0% ABV it works well as either a session beer or an accompaniment for meals. The name is inspired by the Ruskin drinking fountain in Fulking.

All of our beers will be brewed with natural spring water that comes straight out of the Sussex South Downs. Every test we’ve had performed on this water confirms that it is of the highest quality, surpassing UK and EU regulations for drinking water. We believe that this unique water source gives our beers a character that makes them truly special.

For the landlord our beers are an opportunity to embrace the market trend for local produce without compromising on quality or profit. Modern brewing techniques ensure we can produce our beers to a consistently high standard at a reasonable price. We will sell and deliver direct to pubs to prevent wholesale companies taking a cut of your profits.

As an introductory offer we are selling firkins at £58.00 For more information about the beer, brewery, or to place an order, contact southdownsbrewery[at]live[dot]co[co]uk or follow us on Twitter @SDBrewery
