Description
Parish Brewery award winning ales are brewed in a 400 year old converted stable block in Burrough on the Hill in rural East Leicestershire. It is here that we follow the traditional ways of brewing using only the finest malted barley, East Kent Goldings and Fuggles hops, yeast and water.

The brewery began life in 1983 and was the first microbrewery in the area and the forerunner to many others that have opened since. The brewery has a 20 barrel plant brewing over 5,000 pints per brew.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. 3.8% I was sure I'd had this. Russet brown, clear with a small off-white head and wispy lacing. Woody, funky, turpy aroma. Bittersweet taste, light sulphrousness with intense bittering hops on the tongue for the finish. Medium body, no carbonation really. It's about okay.
