Ampleforth Abbey Beer Per case of 12 x 33cl bottles (7% abv) This item is for despatch to the UK Mainland only. In 1608 a community of Benedictine monks fled England for the safety of France. Determined to make a living for themselves, they began brewing their native beer- 'la biere anglaise'. It was made with hops and barley, then double fermented for strength and a 'champagne-like' sparkle. In 1793, escaping the French Revolution, they fled back to England and eventually settled in at Ampleforth in 1802, and built the Abbey. And today the beer, to a similar recipe, is being brewed and poured again. The beer is available in cases of 12 x 330ml bottles. Choose your quantity from the options below. Prices per case include delivery by UPS (to UK Mainland only). Please include advice on where to leave the delivery if you are out since there is a charge for a second attempt at delivering.

Ampleforth Amber Liqueur 50cl This award winning liqueur is half Ampleforth's Cider Brandy, and half freshly crushed apple juice, from our own orchards. The brandy and juice get to know each other for a time in oak barrels before bottling on site. The bottle itself is beautiful, making it a spectacular gift. (And it is re-usable when empty - for olive oil, for instance...) There is no added sugar, but the natural fructose in the juice means that the finished produce is medium sweet, about as sweet as amontillado sherry and just a little stronger in alcohol (21%). The wonderful flavours and scent of apple are prominent. We recommend it to be drunk as you would drink medium sherry, as an appetiser before a meal or as a pick-me-up in the evening. We are proud to say that in the recent Deliciously Yorkshire food and drink awards, this liqueur won first prize in the drinks category. Secure packaging on this item means there is a surcharge of 70p on the packaging costrs. THIS ITEM IS ONLY FOR SALE TO THOSE OVER THE AGE OF 18.

Tautra Rosehip +Vitamin C Face Cream Formerly known as 'Kloster Krem Night Cream', this face cream now contains Rosehip and Vitamin C, as well as essence of Green Tea and Aloe Vera to nourish and moisturize face and neck.
