COTSWOLD CRAFT BEER SINCE 1994
Using traditional methods our beers are brewed in small batches, and our Head Brewer Colin Williams oversees every aspect of the process. From the milling of the malt, the boiling of the hops, to the filling of the casks – everything is lovingly crafted to ensure that our beers reach you in perfect condition. Each beer recipe is known as the Grist. Colin and his team come up with the recipes, using over 20 years experience they work out the perfect blend of malts, hops and other ingredients. The night before a brew, the appropriate amount of malts are weighed out and loaded into the hopper of our vintage mill.

Mahogany brown, approaching black, with a creamy tan head and soft raspberries and a hint of chocolate on the nose. Sweet raspberry up front, a lovely creamy mouthfeel delivering sweetish roasted malt and some coffee flavours with a hint of dry bitterness in the finish

Cask at Hogshead, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden amber with a medium sized white head and good lacing. The aroma is fruity with hints of citrus and floral hops. In the mouth it starts off sweet peaches and mango, before becoming bitter with floral hops, orange peel and ash. Thankfully the ash fades eventually to give a bitter and lsightly sticky finish. Wasn’t too keen on this to start with, but it grew on me.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A hazy pale amber pour with a loose white head; fresh lemony citrus aroma; thick and chewy in the mouth with a taste alternating between vintage marmalade and apricot jam; then a deep fruity bitterness leaving a hint of spice. A lovely pint.
