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.

Cask at The Eight Bells, Chipping Campden, Glos’, 06.08.10 Pours chestnut in colour, touch of haze but otherwise in pretty good nick, decent head atop. Aroma was fruity, touch earthy and malty. Taste more of the same, fruitiness more so but really quite malty. Nothing special but ok. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0
