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.

10/1/2020. Cask at the Cricketers, Ipswich. Pours clear golden amber with a small creamy white head. Aroma of citrus, hops, leaves, caramel and sweet malt. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average carbonation. Sweet tangy fruity finish. Not great.

Cask at the Gatekeeper. Dark golden with creamy head. Kind of a generic bitter, nothing much stands out here. Light, malty, creamy. Looks and feels great. Aroma and flavor light.

Clear bottle, obtained from a dodgy Off-Licence in Brixton and drank in my son's apartment down the road on 8th Aug 2019. Not too sure what's 'Yumi' about it? Anyway it poured a cloudy light yellow with a weak white head. Aroma held some light floral and citrusy esters, taste also similar with a bit of malt action for sweetness. Not very exciting to be honest.
