OUR BEERS !!!
Every week is a beer festival at the "Jolly". We aim to bring Britain's best to our counter for your delight and enjoyment.
We always have up to EIGHT real ales and FOUR lagers (Czech Budvar, 5.0%. Peroni Nastro Azzuro, Italy, 5.1%. Schwaben "Meister Pils", 4.9%. Becks Vier, Bremmen, 4%. Tannenzäpfle Pils from The Rothaus Brewery. The Black Forest comes to Bramley. The Rothaus brewery has won numerous prestige and excellence awards. This 5.1% ABV Pilsner is an elegant, strong, clean, tangy beer with a finely balanced distinctive hop aroma). 'Kozel' Czechoslovakian pilsner. Brewed in the tiny Czech village of Velke Popovice since 1874. At 4% ABV, this is an easy drinking beer in a typical Bohemian pilsner style. It's more similar to a Budvar than a Pilsner Urquell - it's a soft pils with a good balance of Premiant hops and malt.
On Our Counter.
W J King & Co, 3-5 Jubilee Estate, Foundry Lane, Horsham, West Sussex. Horsham Best (3.8%) a clean drinking well hopped session bitter. An all malt brew formulated from a blend of best quality malts ~ namely:- Pale Ale Malt, Crystal and Chocolate malts. Winter’s T’Ale has a clean crisp but dry palate from the use of wheat malt. The bitterness builds into the aftertaste with spicy Goldings hops developing.
Sharp's Brewery, Rock, Cornwall. Cornish Coaster (3.6%) the fresh aroma of hops blends seamlessly with light fruity-sweet notes. In the mouth the beer feels succulent and despite its lower gravity delivers a good measure of hoppy bitterness. This is complemented by a light, almost honeyed malty sweetness. The finish is dry and hoppy with a light moreish bitterness."
Franklins Brewery, Pebsham Farm, Pebsham Lane, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. Brighton Rocks (4.0%) an easy quaffing and deeply refreshing ale. Fragrant hops give a meadow sweet after flavour.

CIDERS.
Aspall Cyder, The Cyder House, Aspall, Stowmarket, Suffolk. Suffolk Cyder (5.5%) Aspall Suffolk Cyder has only ever been made with the fresh pressed juice of whole apples. For 8 generations, the use of concentrates to stretch fermentations has never been part of the Aspall philosophy and continues to be a complete anathema to the family. We capture the best that each apple provides – Cox for sweetness, Bramley for acidity and apple aroma, and finally, a combination of bittersweet apples to give a heady perfume, body and a depth of finish.
