 Early
next month we will be adding Ruddles Best Bitter to
our range of cask ales.
Ruddles Best is an English ale with hoppy undertones and an
aroma packed with soft fruit notes, It has a blend of citrus
and bitter flavours balanced with a light sweetness that
provide a surprisingly full body and clean finish. At
3.7% ABV, it offers the real ale drinker a great session
beer to complement those stronger ales we already have on
offer.

 Our
next guest ale is making a welcome return home.
Morland's Old Speckled Hen is brewed to 4.5% ABV
to give it a superb
rich malty and fruity aroma. When tasting it you'll
experience a wonderful warming flavour that is bursting with
body. Originally brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary
of the MG car factory in Abingdon, it was named after an old
factory run-around known locally as the "owd speckled 'un".
We know that Speckled Hen will make a welcome return
when it's on tap in April.

No sooner has St. Patrick's Day been and gone than we are
planning our celebration of England's patron saint, St.
George.
On Wednesday
23 April The Fox will turn red and white to celebrate St.
George's Day, and we'll have special deals on traditional
English food and drink to mark the occasion.
We will be
serving roast beef and Yorkshire Pudding all day, served
with potatoes roasted in beef dripping and fresh vegetables.
We'll also be offering the Fox's Hotpot based on the
traditional Lancashire recipe, as well as other offers to
tempt your taste buds.
Then we'll have Hardy and Hanson's Olde Trip real ale on tap
as our guest beer. Full of character, this premium ale has all the
 qualities you would expect of a traditional bitter from one of England's
oldest brewers. Olde Trip Ale truly is 'the real ale with the real tale'.
Legend has it that the Olde Trip Inn in Nottingham was where knights, rallying to the call of
King Richard, stopped off for 'one for the road' on their way to the
Holy Land to join the Third Crusade.
Wear red
and white to The Fox on St. George's Day, and we'll give you
a voucher offering you money off your next visit to the pub.
Celebrate
the rich history of England at The Fox on Wednesday 23 April
and pick up a bargain.

 We
have two new guest ales coming your way over the next few
weeks. The first will be Hydes Jekyll's Gold, an
outstanding premium ale. Brewed to 4.3% ABV, it is
pale blonde in colour with a bright citrus taste.
Then later we
shall be offering Bath Ales Brewery's Gem, an exceptional
bitter brewed to 4.1% ABV using floor-malted Maris Otter
barley and Goldings hops. Gem has a rich aroma of malt
and hops, with a long, deep bitter-sweet finish we know
you'll savour.
