Description
"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.

Bottle shared on the train - thanks to Dave. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a small, foamy white head. Grainy pale malts in the nose with suggestions of citrus fruits, grass. Light sweet flavour with grassy bitterness, mild astringency, husky grains, lemon peel. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more grassy bitterness, grain husk, dried citrus peel. In the end, not bad overall.

Dan's Stag. Train rate. Thanks to Dave. Light haze on this gold beer, thin patchy cream colour head. Palate is a little soft and mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Slightly grainy malts, nothing serious. Modest orangey citrus, trace of grapefruit. Light floral citric finish. All right.

Okay brewer call this an IPA but at 4.6% this really comes over as a bitter. Bright clear gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent carbonation. Light malts, thin sweetness. Light floral mid which develops in to bitter floralness. Modest citric hop, some lemin and mandarin. Finishes lightly spicy and bitter. Not bad, certainly the best in this series I've had.

Pretty much opaque brown with a good pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry and has decent carbonation. Mellow dark malts, mild tang and a trace of dark chocolate. Wishy washy fruits and light floralness. Light dry finish. Clean but pretty dull. A mild really isn't the best showcase for a single hop and I'm none the wiser what Flyer hops bring to the party.

Bottle from Nancy Deli’s, Lymm. Cloudy golden with no head. Fruity in both its nose and taste, although there’s vinegar involved in the latter. The bottle was well past its sell-by date though.

Cask at Gilbert’s, Buxton. Brown with a thick white head. Smooth, mildly malty, some fudge, some earth and a twist of plum in the finish. A bit grubby but quite drinkable.
