The Cricketer's Arms is committed to offering its customers a selection of local quality real ales and to establish this, we have developed our "SixSixes" ale portfolio. What this means is that all our real ales travel no further than thirty six miles from brewery to pub (B2P), so you can always enjoy two locally produced, fresh and tasty English ales.

Six sixes is the perfect over in cricket. So "SixSixes" is the perfect ale portfolio for The Cricketer's Arms!

We think it is important that our ales come from within a thirty six mile radius because too many English ales and breweries (and traditional pubs to drink them in) have fallen by the way side over the last few decades, but small businesses, the life-blood of our nation, are keeping alive our unique brewing heritage, using traditional techniques and natural ingredients. And of course, by buying local, we're also playing our part in saving the planet.

Real ale is made from four natural ingredients: Malted barley, hops, yeast and water. Although these ingredients are very simple, in the hands of a skilled brewers they come together to produce a symphony of colours, aromas and tastes that make quality real ale a joy to drink. It is a living, breathing product that undergoes a natural secondary fermentation and maturation in the cask from which it is served from in The Cricketer's Arms.

It is said when you are in a country you should drink the wine of the country. However, when in Britain, people should drink the beer of the country. Beer is Britain's national drink; it is our Beaujolais, Chardonnay, Chablis and Champagne all rolled into one.
