A South Wiltshire gin company is branching out, launching three new beers.

The brewing arm of The Wiltshire Distilling Company has been launched.

Stone Daisy Brewery has even named the new drinks after landmarks from across the Fonthill Estate, where the brewery is located.

There’s Social Pale Ale called ‘Cow Down’, ‘Snail Creep Hanging’ a Best Bitter and the IPA ‘Park Bottom’.

And each of them are already award winners, picking up Gold, Silver and Gold respectively in the 2023 Taste of the West Awards.

Founder and Operations Manager Eddie Large said the beers have a modern feel:

“These are English beers made from traditional methods and local ingredients.”

He added: “We hope they will broadly appeal to fans of both real ales and the craft beer scene, as well as being an accessible introduction for anyone to the world of IPAs and bitters.”

The beers are already available in local pubs including The Winchester Gate, The Greyhound, The Fox & Goose and The Radnor Arms as well as on sale in Coombe Bissett and Chalke Valley Stores.
