Description
We started brewing in Burton-Upon-Trent in 1834. Then in 1898 we got itchy feet. So we moved down the road to the Albion brewery. We still like it so we’ve not moved again since.

We came to Burton for the water. Well, for the rocks the town was built on to be precise. The water trickles down through a thick layer of gypsum before we bring it back up again through our well. That’s what gives our beers the depth of flavour, character and crisp refreshing bitterness that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Not a brilliant stout, more like a dark mild. Bottle at home.

Notater fra Furuveien, sammen med Petro og Per: klar gylden med ok skum som varer. Forsiktig aroma men ok, lett floral smak med milde citrustoner. Kort og heller kjønnsløs. 0,5 flaske fra Marens importkoffert.
