From 1st December Noël Real Ale is back on for the festive season. Launched in 1987 and named in honour of the present Chairman’s father, Sir Noel Arkell, who was born on Christmas Day. The strongest of Arkell’s Ales, this full-bodied beer is cleverly disguised by its distinctive light colour, and slides down very easily, leaving drinkers with a warm, tingling feeling. ABV: 5.5%.
