About
"Delicious", "glorious" and "stunning" are just a few of the words used by recent customers to describe our ales. We pride ourselves on creating a delightful product that people really want to savour; whether it is a pint in your local or a bottle consumed at home. We know that taste and quality are key to the enjoyment and that is why we never create beers that we wouldn't actually want to drink ourselves.

We are really proud that we do this by sourcing the majority of our ingredients from within the UK. Nothing is more local than the main ingredient: water which comes from our own spring at the Brewery. Locally sourced is both key to our brand story and it also means we can create very unique, premium tasting beers.

In terms of our production ethos - our team are dedicated to the business vision of "redefining english ales". It does mean that the Wincle Beer brand is more traditional than some in its styles; but that does not mean we don't like a bit of experimentation! We are fascinated by the use of new techniques to make each ingredient sing ... and a tweak here and there can make a phenomenal difference to the end product. We are also to be very proud to gypsy brew for a number of other brands - some of which are extremely modern in their presentation and taste; and very different to Wincle Beer. This passion for all things beer and knowledge of the process ensures we have the experience and the skill set to deliver any style of beer, ale or lager that meets the criteria and taste credentials required.

Each and every brew follows rigorous process with every beer leaving our brewery 'Character assured'. Over the last 12 years this means that we have created more than 5 million pints with that same zeal for quality on each and every one.

Clear deep amber - brown beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, a reasonable minerally carbonation. Thin but earthy malts. Bubblegum esters, slightly bitterish. Bitter floral hop. Dry crisp finish. Thin and dry and if the idea is to showcase a hop in a brown ale, well it’s doesn’t work at all.

Bottle from Nancy’s Deli, Lymm. Amber with a large bubbly-frothy head. Quite active out of the bottle and provides a mild fizz in the palate alongside a strong fruitiness with a citrus notes. Its aroma is similar.

Bottle from Nancy’s Deli, Lymm. Darker amber coloured with next to no head. Very fruity ale, medium to full-bodied and slightly tangy with its tropical flavours.

Dark brown with thin soapy head. Aroma and flavour have some cinnamon and spice. Well made but not my thing.

Cask pint in The Foresters Arms, Madeley Shropshire on 1st Nov 2016. Golden pour, smooth and lasting white crown. Decent enough blend, semi-sweet, semi-bitter and semi-dry tasting. No stand out aromas or flavours but I liked it, even if there was a slight citrus leaning throughout.

500ml bottle into a UK pint sleeve at home on 6th Jan 2016. Light amber/golden bodied beer, clean and clear looking, on top an off-white blanket of foam. Hoppy nose and taste, malts in the background and calming the hops down a little. Refreshing and semi-bitter, the light malt content again not letting the hops run away with the flavouring. Very drinkable and fitting reward for myself after a successful day doing chores and ’stuff’.
