Special guest craft bottled beers

We've got some tasty very special guest bottled craft beers in at the moment. They're limited in stock so better head down sooner rather than later, but we'd love to know what you think of them…

Bristol Beer Factory Ultimate Stout (7.7% abv, £4) 
Strong black and delicious with hints of coffee, chocolate and dark fruits. Made using a Belgian yeast and roasted malts, this beer is a perfect after-dinner treat.

Arbor Ales American Brown (5% abv, £4.10)

A roasty dark brown ale, brought to life with armfuls of American aroma hops thrown late into the mix.

Kernel Amarillo Pale Ale (5.5% abv, £5) 
Described by one blogger as the "beer equivalent of Cary Grant", this pale golden craft beer is made from American hops and has a fruity aroma with particular notes of citrus, which follow through into its taste.

Beavertown Neck Oil (4.3% abv, £4.25) 

The brewery reckon it goes well with Mac & Cheese, which is handily on Soul Food Project's menu. Fruity and earthy aromas and nicely balanced taste with notes of caramel, malt and bread.

We're top ten in the country!
