A fresh interpretation of the classic Phipps style of sweet, amber-gold ales but using modern aromatic Amarillo hops. This fruity session ale is inspired by the famous water meadows that lie between our home town of Northampton and the meandering River Nene. The perfect companion for lazy summer days by the river or in the pub garden.

Available from Spring to Autumn Read Less

Brewed to mark the 850th anniversary of the trial of Thomas Becket at Northampton Castle and inspired by the recent discovery of the town's first commercial brewery at an archaeological dig opposite our brewery. We have crafted a sweet dark and malty pint with honey the key constituent, an ingredient often found in Mediaeval ales. Read Less

This is a creamy, full bodied malty brew, satisfyingly rich with distinct caramel and coffee notes. A combination of crystal and roasted malts give the stout its deep, dark flavour topped of with a creamy, thick tan head. Unlike some stouts, it isn't overly bitter due to careful use of traditional English hop varieties in the brewhouse. Winner of the CAMRA Winter Beer festival in Derby 2013. In WW2 Ratliffe's Stout was sent out as a gift by Phipps to the Northamptonshire Regiment who were a part of the Desert Rats and they continued to supply the regiment as they fought through North Africa and Italy.

In the 1950s and '60s, Bison Brown was one of Phipps' most popular pints with its bottle version a best seller. In today's market where beers are getting hoppier and lighter as brewers vie with each other to get more hops in your glass than ever before, many have forgotten the pleasure to be had from a smooth malty brew with a balance of flavours. Phipps always swims against the tide of fashion, looking to our proud heritage to bring you this brown ale with the creamy texture of a stout but the hoppy character of a strong ale; the best of both worlds in one bottle.

Steam Roller is the first new brew to emerge from the country's oldest new brewery; a burnished copper coloured pint which rolls over the taste buds leaving a smooth finish of toffee and caramel. As the flavours fade away, a hint of smokey notes lingers. Not far from The Albion Brewery stood the steam roller and traction engine works of William Allchin where these mighty beasts were made from 1847 to 1925. Read Less

The oldest recipe we brew today, a light amber harvest ale brought back to life from Phipps' 19th century, leather bound brewer's books. A cunning combination of Kent hops rule the taste buds over Maris Otter, Pale Ale and Crystal malts. At 1036 OG this brew comes from the top end of a range of beers designed for thirst quenching following a hard day's work in field or factory. Diamond Ales were Pickering Phipps' original bright and sparkling beers which were developed in the early 1860s as the craze for Burton style bitters swept away dark, heavy porters, a link with the company's roots in rural Towcester.

A pint that packs a taste punch well over its face value, harking back to an age when a small brass coin would get you a flagon of foaming session ale. When the Albion Brewery was in its heyday before the First World War, 3d or thrupennce would buy you the forerunners of this brew. Sadly today it costs a little more but we hope the character remains the same even if the price has changed Read Less
