| Sharp's - Twin Coast | 3.90 | | Presented with very good head and lasting lacing on this session pale ale from the 1994-launched brewery at Rock on the north coast of Cornwall and which grew out of trialling home-brewing methods inside the founder, Bill Sharp’s personal garage in Rock. The business was sold to the multinational brewing giant, Molson Coors, in 2011 and where the UK headquarters are located in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, but with Twin Coast Session Pale Ale exclusively brewed still at Sharp's Brewery in Rock, Cornwall. A hoppy first hit on this pale-gold coloured ale. A dry fruitiness rising. A hint of citrus veering up from being twin dry-hopped with a vibrant burst of US citrus hops most likely to be Cascade behind its grapefruit zest and floral flavours, Citra lending a punch of juicy tropical fruit, lime and orange citrus, and Centennial/Chinook adding a crisp, resinous pine undertone. A gentle hoppy bitterness prevailing in its slide downwards accompanied by its juicy fruitiness. Served in top form. |

The pub is found in Horley, Surrey, RH6 8AD.
An ancient and large pub on the outskirts of Horley at the end of Church Road, dating from the early 1400s, and claiming to be one of Britain’s oldest. It is said to rest on wooden piles from the year 827. Most of the later additions date from the 1500s. Given its overall size, clearly some more recent extensions now form part of its rear but these almost imperceptibly blend in. The pub and neighbouring barn are both listed. It even has dining areas upstairs given its emphasis on food. Operated by Mitchells & Butlers, one of the largest operators of managed pubs, bars and restaurants in the UK, running around 1,700 businesses, and as detailed ahead of a visit in August 2026. Two real ales on and with the one tried on good form. The pub’s rear car-park is huge and away from its rear terraced areas. Situated just out of town, it takes all of 15 minutes by foot to reach from Horley’s town centre along quiet residential streets and in this section of Church Road, a cul-de-sac, complete with a neighbouring church lending it very much a village atmosphere. Its rear garden stretches down to the River Mole. An appealing array of old photographs of the pub and neighbouring church adorns the walls and two very impressive huge fireplaces are still in use for log burning.
We have visited this pub once, seen 2 different beers and tried 1 of them.
