Sherwood Ale Finest - The Ultra Premium 3.5 kg Boxed Beer and Cidex Kits

NO Boil Sherwood Ale  

From Robin Hood's County

Sherwood Ale Finest kits are made in Newark-on-Trent. The market town is only a short distance from Sherwood Forest. The ancient Nottinghamshire woodland is famous for its English oak and in particular the 'Major Oak' which is at least 800 years old. It is perhaps even more famous for being the home of the legendary outlaw and archer Robin Hood and his 'Merry Men'; Will Scarlet, Friar Tuck and Little John. The story of Robin Hood and his romance with Maid Marian is set in the Forest and major city of Nottingham. The city is infamous for the Sheriff of Nottingham, foe of Robin Hood. Newark-on-Trent is an historic Nottinghamshire town, where King John (famous for the Magna Carta) died in the Newark Castle in 1216. It is part of Robin Hood Legend that he was poisoned by a cleric called Friar Tuck! The town was a Royalist stronghold in the 1640s during the English Civil War. Newark Castle withstood 3 Parliamentarian sieges, but in 1646 Cromwell ordered it to be destroyed on the King's surrender (the wall against the Trent remains).

From a Malting & Brewing Tradition

Under a mile away (1km) from the beautiful Newark Castle grounds overlooking the River Trent, is the British DiaMalt home of Sherwood Ale Finest. The historic market town of Newark-on-Trent has a long connection with the malting and brewing industries. It had several breweries and numerous maltings in the 19th Century, mainly due to its close proximity to the rich agricultural land of Lincolnshire and east Nottinghamshire.

The 'Finest' Beer Kits

Sherwood Ale’s Finest are the ‘finest’ beer and cider kits ever made in Robin Hood’s County and are one of the World’s best. No sugar is required during brewing for all 3 kits.
