Description
At present there are five of us working at the brewery – Luke and Stuart who assist with deliveries and the cleaning and filling of casks. In the office, there’s Julia AKA Fuzzy, who doubles as Droxford’s famous lollipop lady. She keeps all the paperwork in good order which is a good thing because this was a weakness of ours. The Bowman family is of course completed by Ray and myself.

Our beers have evolved over the years into three really popular regular brews and each month we have a 4.5% special on too.

Cask at The Guide Dog, Southampton- Pale gold in colour with a mild but pleasant hoppy aroma. A well balanced hoppy and malty taste make this a good session beer in my view.

Cask at The Guide Dog, Southampton- Golden in colour with a deliciously inviting elderflower aroma which is powerful yet not overwhelming. Lime can also be detected in the aroma. The taste is mildly sweet with the elderflowers being nicely balanced. Extremely well balanced and full of flavour for the strength.

Yellow with a white head. Floral aroma that seems slightly rotten. Sweet and boring flavour. It’s hard to make a good elderflower beer...
