Beers

Sharps brew three main beers plus three others, which are less commonly found.

Doom Bar (4% abv)
A medium bitter. Named after an offshore sandbank in the Camel Estuary, Doom Bar has been a CAMRA Beer of the year (2004) and has been finalist in the Great British Beer Festival for the last three years. Bottled Doom Bar was also recognised at the International Beer Awards 2006, winning a place in the Worlds Top 50 Bottled Beers.

Atlantic IPA (4.9% abv)
A dry beer, higher in alcohol as is typical of IPAs. The labelling bears the logo of the RNLI, and some proportion of sales is donated to them.

Eden Pure Ale (4.4% abv)
A lighter ale with more hop flavour. The website states it is made with least environmental impact, in conjunction with the Eden Project. It is generally more widely available bottled, rather than in cask format. Eden was named Supreme Champion Ale in the CAMRA Cornish beer festival 2000, and awarded a Silver award in the 2005 Taste of the West Awards.

The above ales are all available bottled. Sharps also produce the following ales in cask only.
