Description
The City of Cambridge Brewery was founded in 1997 and specialises in selling premium bottled and draught beers. It was the first independent brewery to open in Cambridge after an absence of 25 years. Originally based in Cheddars Lane Cambridge, in 2001 it expanded into larger premises at Chittering.

We use inspiration from the beautiful City of Cambridge to name our products, which are available on draught at selected local pubs and also in bottles for you to take home and enjoy.

Brewing ceased in the second half of 2007 with brewing being contracted out to a.o. The Wolf Brewery and Oxfordshire Ales. By 2010 brewing was all taking place at Elgood & Sons Ltd. In Autumn 2011 the brewery was taken over by Wolf and all brewing takes place there. In 2011 the business partnered with WBC (Norfolk) to brew and bottle our beers to expand capacity to meet the growing demand for the iconic brands.

Bottle in the cafe at Bury Lane Garden Centre, Herts. Malty citrus aroma. A bright pale gold. Thin bubbly white head.Light bitter with sweet undertones. The citrus bitterness grows in strength. Light bodied. Watery. Average carbonation. Low key finish. Decent enough. Refreshing. Off on holiday so gets the benefit of the doubt.
