PURE GOLD
MAD GOOSE
Award winning Pure Gold is a refreshing, crisp and zesty golden ale, inspired by our noisy farmyard rooster. Wired up a little differently, he crows at Sunset rather than Sunrise which signals the end of another great day brewing and time for a well earnt beer.
Award winning Mad Goose is a zesty pale ale with a refreshing citrus finish, inspired by our own fearsome feathered friend. Her hiss was far worse than her bite except around mating season when it was best to stay inside for another well earnt beer.

PURE UBU
JIMBO
Award winning Pure UBU is a well-balanced, full flavoured amber ale, named after our faithful canine friend, Tess. Often found lazing around the farm, she affectionately earnt the nickname ‘Useless Bloody Urchin’, shortened to UBU and a beer was named in her honour.
JIMBO – The Very Best Bitter. Brewed in memory of our co-founder Jim Minkin who sadly passed away earlier this year. JIMBO is our legacy brew that allows Jim’s character to lives on in our great beer and a part of him will always be at Purity.
