Akela IPA
Our brewer Dan has created a new beer called Akela IPA. We generally only use hops grown in England but for this beer we have used Wolf hops from Slovenia. It has an ABV of 4.8% and it’s fruity with hints of passion fruit, citrus fruits and spices. It has been going down a storm in the Fortescue on Mutley Plain – the first firkin was drunk in four and a half hours!
The pump clip was illustrated and created by the very talented Dawn Louise Simms. If you’re lucky enough to catch a pint of in the Fort you may be doubly lucky and be served by the artist herself….!

Another old favourite and part of the early Summerskills line up, Ninja is amber and late hopped with Celeia 5.0% ABV.
Scrum-Half Stout and Plymouth Porter
Fancy something dark and smooth to enjoy whilst watching the rugby? Our Scrum-Half Stout is available during February and March at 4.4% ABV.

November Porter
We relaunched our November Porter in the Nowhere Inn and are donating 10p per pint sold to the Chestnut Appeal for Prostate Cancer.
Porter Ale has its roots going back to the 18th Century when it was popular with street and river Porters in London. Our recipe uses a combination of crystal, chocolate and black malt along with roasted barley to create its dark colour and distinctive full, rich flavour.
