Real Ales At The Black Horse
Real Ale is a very important aspect of The Black Horse. With at least 6 real ales on sale, you're assured of a wide choice of styles, strengths and flavours -from Elgood's Black Dog (3.6% abv) to Everards Orignal (5.2% abv); from the bitter hoppiness of Everards Beacon to the subtle fruitiness of Everards Sunchaser.
The Black Horse won Leicester CAMRA's Pub of the Month award for May 2007, and continues to be regularly listed in The Good Beer Guide. We are very proud of this recognition, as the step from serving real ale to serving excellent real ale is not an easy one. The staff have contributed in no small way to help acheive this award, and we would also like to thank our customers for keeping the turnover of beer high enough to sustain a wide range of beers!
Phil was one of the first Everards licensees to be invited to take part in their Gold Award "Cask Ale Champion" course - a two-day course, rounded off by a day at the Brunswick Brewery, coming together to brew a beer especially to be sold in the licensees' pubs! "Publicans' Pride" was the delicious result.
To the right is a list of abuot half the real ales we have sold so far, since October 2006. I'm working on a new, comprehensive list, to include festival beers too. A rough estimate would be that we have had 150-200 different ales in the last 18 months.
