Graze is a vibrant, stylish bar and eaterie with something of a sophisticated feel to it.

Offering great food and drink in a relaxed and sophisticated setting, a recipe with proven success at Graze in Bristol, the considered menu will have wide appeal featuring a range of classic dishes lead by meat and fish choices cooked in a Josper charcoal oven. The regularly changing and seasonal dishes on the specials board use the best of local produce. For example, meat comes from a range of top notch butchers and will always be dry aged, well matured, grass fed beef from a variety of breeds including Aberdeen Angus, Longhorn, White Park, South Devon and Dexter.

And drinks-wise, alongside an extensive wine and top quality spirit list, you can of course expect to find Bath Ales’ great range of ales and ciders. Graze is essentially our take on a modern pub – somewhere to enjoy a pint of great cask ale, munch on some homemade bar snacks, have a simple hearty lunch or eat a sophisticated meal.

Commenting before the launch, retail director Robin Couling said: “Opening Graze in Cirencester is an exciting addition to our growing estate. Our aim is to bring a new vibrant and welcoming bar and restaurant to the town.”

This amber nectar, with a full malt flavour, a fruity bitterness and aromas of spice and summer fruits, this is the perfect ale for summer’s evening spent in one of the many Bath Ales pubs’ beer gardens.

We brew Summer’s Hare using the finest pale Maris Otter floor-malted barley and a mix of Bramley Cross and Chinook hops, which combine to give this seasonal brew its distinctive taste and aroma.

If you’ve visited one of our pubs in recent days you may have spotted a rather unnerving, life-size cut-out of our very own Richard Dempster; brave figurehead of our Loyal Hare Force scheme. ‘The Richards’ will be handing out information on our Loyal Hare Force, so if you haven’t signed-up yet, now is a great time!

The ‘real’ Richard will also be making special, guest appearances in his full-flight regalia, so take a picture of yourself with squadron leader Richard Dempster, either in 2D or 3D, share it on our Facebook or Twitter before the end of May, and our favourite picture will win a mixed case of Bath Ales beer.

Happy snapping!

Available in 20 litre boxes, so perfect for spring and summertime get-togethers and festivals, Bounders Traditional is a refreshing, clear cider with a crisp flavour and subtle apple aromas. Produced using 100% Somerset cider apples, it is a fine example of our regional speciality.

We would suggest that it might go particularly well with chicken, pasta and lighter dishes. But it is just as delicious drunk on its own.

Full in flavour and appreciably dry and clean on the palate, we’ve worked hard to fashion Rare Hare into a supremely smooth ale.

And we are delighted to announce that the 2012 brew of Rare Hare is available now! But you’d better hop to it if you want to savour this elusive wonder – it’s ‘hare today, gone tomorrow’.

Available to buy from our online shop.
