Drinks

Here at The Wight Bear we love beer, and want to share our love of beer with you with our forever rotating wide range of guest beers from up and down the country, and even some from abroad! We have fresh cask, a 10 tap craft keg wall, an exciting still cider line-up and a fully stocked wide range of beers and ciders in our fridge.

Those not fancying a beer, don’t worry we’ve got a fantastic new range of wines, as well as some new additions to the spirit shelves, including some fantastic independent and local distilleries. Check out our menus below

TAKE ME HOME WITH YOU

You know how it is; you pop in to your local for a drink after work but can only have one because the dog needs a walk and the in-laws arrive for dinner at 7.

Yep, life can be so cruel when all you want to do is savour that sweet taste of decent beer.

Well, fear not because we have just the thing to ease your pain. We can pour you a take-home can of fresh beer or cider, from our cask, keg and cider wall so you can continue to enjoy your favourite tipple at home.

We also now have limited 4 pint re-usable Wight Bear Growlers, simply fill it up, drink it, bring it back and start again. The take home cask ale and cider is also available in a 3 litre bag in box.
