About
Cotleigh Brewery began life in Devon in 1979, in the old stable block of Cotleigh Farmhouse at Washfield near Tiverton. Immediate success meant that in 1980 the brewery moved to the historic brewing town of Wiveliscombe in Somerset. Its original owner Ted Bishop was succeeded in the early 80's by John and Jenny Aries, who built upon the brewery's success. The brewery moved in 1985 to the current location in order to fulfil ever-increasing demand. Currently is Stephen Heptinstall the sole owner of the Brewery.

Handpull cask at the Kings Arms, Leicester. Light golden, clear with a very thin and loose white head. Harsh grainy aroma. Bitter taste with a good sulphurous dollop. Bitter astringency on the long finish. Touches of citrus and butterscotch on the aftertaste. Not my kind of thing.
