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.

[Cask at the Horse & Groom, Hare Hatch.] A pale amber pour with a ring of white head; sour grainy aroma; taste to hatch with a touch of lemon and cream soda; then a dry biscuity finish with a gentle bitterness. Not unpleasant.

Keg @ KK's Steel Mill as 'KK's Dark Ale' while watching Moonspell before Paradise Lost. Also enjoyed by Nick Holmes onstage. Pitch black pour, creamy off-white collar. Smooth, almost silky palate. Had no idea what this was when I tried it, so expected something thin and cheap, but this has a surprising depth of flavour to it, nicely rich some chocolate and liqorice notes, mild soy, with an appealing sweetness, medium bodied. Ok.

Cask at Hogarth’s, Stafford (not listed in RateBeer – it doesn’t deserve to be !). Wasn’t expecting to get a tick whilst slumming it here ! Drunk it many times before of course, but never rated it. Anyway, pours a bright golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Just some vague fruitiness in the aroma. In the mouth it has a watery texture with sweet malty flavour. Later on there is a little bitterness and some lemongradss. Finish is sweet. It’s a semi-macro that’s as bland as hell, but otherwise not a bad beer.
