Description
As part of a museum at the ancestral home of the Earl of Lichfield a 2½BBL log fired plant was installed in 1990. A single beer was made but the brewery then remained unused until September 1996 when Titanic started brewing some beers on the plant. The beers brewed here are one mainly offs and third parties have often use the plant to produce pub house beers.

On gravity at Worcester Beer Festival, 14/08/10. Deep gold in colour with a decent white head. Aroma of peaches, mandarins and grainy malts. Slightly yeasty taste, with tangy, almost sour oranges and pineapples, some floral hops and dry finish. A bit odd, but still drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of my dad, had this 28-06-08 Pours reddy brown with off white decent sized head. Fruit and malty with some hoppy back up, there is some decent bitterness towards the end and whilst I quite liked this beer it lacked a bit of oomph considering the 5.2 abv, still not too bad. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov13 3.1 Had this again at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 20-01-10 was 5% on this occasion Pours reddy amber with an off-white filmy head. Light fruit on nose but citrus starting to show. In the mouth this is incredibly bitter, rasping pithy bitterness that really lingers, some sweetness at front of mouth is soon swamped by the bitterness, nowhere near as fruity or malty as I was expecting, I reckon the recipe has been really tweaked on this, but a good beer that gives the mouth a real workout.
