The Seal is proud to be a real ale pub, serving a wide range of beers from breweries in West Sussex and beyond.
The bar is well known for providing a wide selection of the cask conditioned English Ales from major breweries as well as micro-breweries and is one of the best places in the area to sample some of the best cask conditioned ales in the country. Regular Ale sampling nights take place throughout the year.
We are proud members of the Cask Marque scheme which promotes good quality Real Ale, through good cellar practice.
Real Ales - Now available on tap
Arapaho
Langham Brewery
Arapaho, Winner, Haslemere Beer Festival Sept 2013
Tasting Notes
Arapaho - The clue’s in the name. A generously super-hopped deep deep gold American Pale Ale with a creamy, foamy head.
Proper Job
St Austell
Proper Job is a refreshing barbeque drink which is fantastic with marinaded meats, burgers and flame grilled sausages.
Tasting Notes
Proper Job is an authentic IPA brewed with Cornish spring water and malt made from a blend of malts including Cornish grown Maris Otter barley. A powerfully hopped golden bitter that explodes with citrus grapefruit flavours.
Doom Bar
Sharpes Brewery in Rock, Cornwall
Doom Bar Bitter is named after an infamous sandbank at the mouth of the Camel Estuary in North Cornwall
Tasting Notes
The aroma of Doom Bar combines an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balanced and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more.
Hophead
Dark Star in West Sussex
Hophead at 3.8% is one of our most popular beers and has a huge following across the south coast and I am sure even much further.
Tasting Notes
Hophead is a pale golden colour, cool crisp and refreshing with a slight hoppy bitterness. Many of our customers who drink it say that they seem to get drunk drinking this as opposed to drinking some of the stronger beers. That's because it's too 'moreish' and they always end up drinking more than they realise!
From time to time, in addition to Hophead, we will also be serving other Ales from Dark Star's excellent range.
New Forest Ale
Downton Brewery
A bronze best bitter from Downton Brewery
Tasting Notes
New Forest Ale is a bronze coloured best bitter. A combination of roasted malts and rich, aromatic hops provide a well rounded flavour and a distinctive hoppy bitterness.
