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.

Clear and golden with a small frothy white head and a classic cereal aroma. Crisp with a biscuity taste, a slightly sharp citrus bite, floral hops, some fruity notes and a bittersweet finish.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2023. Amber in colour with a slight, off-white, head. A sweet beer, with plenty of caramel and flabby malts, before a moderately bitter finish. So so.
