M.V. Enterprise
Pale Ale | 4.0% ABV
Our flagship ale.
Brewed using British Maris Otter and Crystal malts combined with American Cascade and British First Gold hops which gives this beer a malty-sweet biscuit base along with a well-balanced bitterness and a fruity, yet slightly spicy note with floral aromas.
M.V. Enterprise was a large 100-seat passenger boat that was the first of her kind in Tenby Harbour.
With Ivor Crockford as her skipper from the 1960s until the mid 1990s, the ‘Enterprise’ made thousands of trips around Caldey Island, taking tourists to see the spectacular scenery and local wildlife including seals and cormorants.
North Star
Amber Ale | 4.2% ABV
British Maris Otter, Crystal and Amber malts create a smooth, slightly toasted ale with a hint of caramel that, when combined with British Bramling Cross and Godiva hops, gives a well-balanced bitterness finished with an almost spicy blackcurrant and subtle lemon aromas.
North Star was Tenby fishing boat that ran mackerel fishing trips in the Summer months, and turned to trawling during the Winter months.
Her memorable fishing trips were enjoyed by thousands of holiday makers for over six years before she was sold and moved to nearby Fishguard in North Pembrokeshire.
RFA Sir Galahad
Ruby Red Ale | 4.6% ABV
Brewed blending traditional Maris Otter with Crystal malt, which creates a delicious blend of malty sweetness along with caramel and honey.
German Cara Red then gives this ale its deep ruby red colour with a small amount of Black malt for those roasted flavours you associate with darker ales.
No less than FOUR different hop varieties are used in the beer, all contributing to a well-balanced bitterness with a slight spicy note and a very pleasant herbal blackcurrant.
RFA Sir Galahad was Tenby’s RNLI Tyne class Lifeboat from 1986 until 2006. She was named in tribute after the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Ship that was tragically lost in the Falklands conflict, whose surviving members helped raise her half a million pound build costs.
Caldey Lollipop
Session IPA | 4.5% ABV
British Cara Gold malt provides caramel and toffee flavours which alongside the malty-sweet base of Maris Otter malt creates a delicious and moreish ale.
New Zealand Waimea and American Mounthood hops create an amazing fruity and citrus taste, with subtle hints of pine whilst Polish Magnum gives a slight bitterness with a touch of floral aroma to really give this beer a quality finish.
Caldey Lollipop was at sea in all weathers during the 1950s providing a ferry service between Tenby and nearby Caldey Island.
In 1961 she was run aground and wrecked on Tenby’s North Beach during a storm. Despite the efforts of local RNLI crew members and even Caldey’s late Brother Thomas, who went over waist deep in the tide, doing their utmost to save her, she unfortunately was lost.
La Nossa Signora
Milk Chocolate Orange Stout | 5.0% ABV
A full flavoured and smooth stout combining the deep roasted flavours and rich colour from British roasted barley and chocolate malt.
The addition of Lactose adds background sweetness and mouthfeel to give La Nossa Signora an even fuller body. British First Gold hops add a well-balanced bitterness, with American Amarillo and German Mandarina Bavaria providing the delicious flavours and aromas of oranges and tangerines.
A zesty kick comes from the addition of orange zest which is balanced with bitterness from pure cocoa nibs.
La Nossa Signora was a Portuguese merchant ship that brought the first ever oranges into Wales when she landed in Tenby Harbour on 17th June 1566 from Aveiro in Northern Portugal.
Sea Bass
Celtic Pale Ale | 3.9% ABV
Aptly Named for it’s combination of British and French ingredients.

Tenby was one of the earliest Welsh fishing centres, a thriving town and port from before the Middle ages, and by 1870 Tenby was the most significant fishing base in West Wales.
Sea Bass is our way of honouring our town’s strong fishing heritage, and the bass that features on the design of this bottle was exclusively painted for us by talented artist Florence Super. You can see more of her amazing work at www.florencesuper.co.uk

We celebrate our Welsh heritage with a Celtic interpretation of a wolf’s head, an animal that figures prominently in Welsh mythology and legends.
Heist
Belgian IPA | 5.0% ABV
Heist is our 5.0% Belgian IPA, a style that provides a tasty combination of moreish malt flavours with European hop aroma and subtle bitterness along with fruity notes from traditional Belgian yeast.
The name HEIST derives from the Belgian municipality Knokke-Heist which like Tenby is a popular and well loved seaside resort.
It also proudly represents the role Tenby had in the reformation of Belgian’s armed forces during World War Two, as our town was used as a military base for the Belgian soldiers that survived Dunkirk from 1940 until the end of the War.
