Description
Keltek, meaning ‘Celtic’ in the Cornish language was chosen as the brewery’s name by founder and head brewer Stuart Heath. Established in 1997, our award-winning ales are brewed by hand with care and craftsmanship, using whole hop flowers and British malts. After winning gold for his very first brew, demand for his beers grew tremendously and expansion was needed. The first move was to a larger unit in Lostwithiel where the brewery’s capacity increased five-fold. In 2007 Keltek expanded again, moving to its current home in Redruth. We now have the capacity to brew over 250 brewer’s barrels a week. In addition, we have our own fully automated bottling line which filters, carbonates, fills, labels and caps the beer. Everything’s done in-house.

Keltek remains a family owned brewery that adheres to the age old traditions of brewing by hand with care and craftsmanship using the finest whole hop flowers, British malts and hand-pitched yeast.

Cask at the Pup & Duckling, Solihull. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty, light herbal. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, fresh, yeasty, herbal, light citrus, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Ok, but very yeasty. Maybe it adds to the experience!
