In addition to a regular range of beers, we like to brew somthing different whenever we can. Other breweries have seasonal beers, but we never quite know when we will manage the extra brews, so we call them 'occasional beers'. After each beer is the month when we hope to have the beer available.

On the first Monday after Twelth Night, the ploughboys, with blackened faces and beribboned jackets, would take their plough round the village. They stopped outside the houses of the well-to-do and performed the Molly Dance. If the householder didn't come forth with ale, cake or alms, the ploughboys would threaten to plough up the front garden. The bitter cold of a January night demands a very robust stout and Ploughboys is fortified with port to keep the Ploughboys going. Only available in a few pubs in Maldon, it is a rare beer to seek out.

A robust stout brewed for the winter months using chocolate malt to give a rich flavour. Launched at the 2nd Maldon Beer Festival, this beer celebrates Edward Bright, "the fat man of Maldon", who died in 1750, weighing over 44 stones. There was a local wager that seven hundred men would fit into Edward Brigth's waistcoat. The wager was won when seven men from the Dengie Hundred got into the waistcoat.

A golden beer made with the finest East Anglian malt and wheat.  The delicate aroma comes from the Challenger hops.  This beer was developed to accompany seafood and contains mussels selected by the chef at The Blue Boar Hotel.

BitterNoth was created for the Fifth Maldon Beer Festival in April 2007. It is copper coloured with a slight sweetness from the use of Crystal Malt. There is a hint of spiciness in the finish provided by the careful use of Challenger hops. Following its success at the Maldon Beer Festival, we are going to do a few more brews of this one. VOTED BEER OF THE FESTIVAL AT THE 5TH CAMRA MALDON BEER FESTIVAL 2007

A deliciously full bodied beer with lots of coffee and chocolage flavours, brewed to celebrate the annual Maldon Oyster Festival in September. It contains real Maldon oysters form the River Blackwater.

The hop harvest in September provides a unique opportunity to brew a beer with fresh hops gathered directly from the hop bine because hop flavour and aroma degrade during drying packing and storage.  This beer uses wild hops for aroma which have been collected from gardens and hedges around Maldon which are luscious green when first picked – hence the name King Green Bitter.

A deliciously full bodied beer with lots of coffee and chocolate flavours. Available throughout the festive period. To add to the soft ‘feel’ of the beer, we used a small quantity of Maldon Sea salt.
