The Spitting Feathers brewery was set up in 2005 by Matthew Walley. With the help of a small team, he now brews 13 different beers. At The Brewery Tap, is is usual to find Thirstquencher and Old Wavertonian stout but at different times, you may well see another to try.

See below for a detailed list of all of the Spitting Feathers beers.

Farmhouse Ale (3.6%)
A golden session bitter. Traditional English malts and hops combine to make this a well balanced and satisfying beer.

Thirstquencher (3.9%)
A hoppy, pale bitter. Lots of late hop leads to a clean, crisp finish.

Special Ale (4.2%)
A malty, chestnut brown beer. The full malt taste balances well with hop bitterness and fruit flavours.

Old Wavertonian (4.4%)
A robust dark stout. Roast barley, chocolate and coffee flavours give a very full body and a smooth lingering finish.

A dark ruby strong ale, rich and fruity full flavour with a smooth finish.
