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.

Cask at the NWAF, Derby ’14. Amber pour with a white head. Sulphury nose. Bit of earth and caramel in there. Odd. Very malt laden flavour, some fruit in there. Not too bad.
