​THE ROYAL OAK
Watfords oldest kept secret.
Draft
Peroni
Peroni Nastro Azzurro is a premium Italian beer. Crisp and refreshing with an unmistakable character and a touch of Italian style: designed with a Mediterranean palate in mind, Peroni Nastro Azzurro offers a delicate balance of bitterness and citrus & spicy aromatic notes, combined with a surprisingly fast & clean finish.
Kozel
Kozel has as a smoothly bitter taste, a soft malt and hops scent and sparkles perfectly. This highly malted beer is considered to be an excellent lager both in The Czech Republic and abroad.
Freedom Four Lager
4.0% abv Helles pale lager. Hopped with a combination of British First Gold and Hallertau Perle, Freedom Four has an initial sweetness that slides into a hoppy bitter finish. Mid-weight body and great smoothness ensure it's easy-drinking, while lively natural carbonation refreshes through to a crisp finish.
Meantime Pale Ale
One hundred and fifty years ago the new bitter beer style, Pale Ale, was so popular that brewers had to import Californian hops to meet demand. Meantime London Pale Ale continues that tradition by combining lots of American Cascade and Centennial hops to give it a complex citrus aroma and buckets full of local Kentish Goldings to provide the bitterness that makes the style so refreshing. Together they conspire to assail the nose with a complex, heady mix of spearmint, grass and ‘hop sack’ aromas, fruity citrus flavours and a bitter finish that makes pale ale drinking a truly rewarding experience.
Meantime London lager
Meantime Brew Master, Alastair Hook, has spent 20 years planning the quintessential English lager. His reasoning is simple.The great European lager brewers use very soft water and neutral yeasts to ensure that only the flavours of their locally grown malt and hops come to the fore. East Anglia is home to the world’s finest malting barley and Kent is home to some of the world’s best hops. Midway between the two, London is ideally placed to bring them together in a straightforward, clean, long-matured, unpasteurised lager, where all you can taste is malt and hop.
