Description
XT Brewing Co is an innovative, independent brewery crafting a wide range of exceptional beers. Our XT beers form the core range of characterful, full flavoured brews and our wild side, Animal Brewing Co, pushes the boundaries with new and exciting one-off specials. The options are as infinite as the natural world.

We designed and installed our 18 barrel brewery during 2011 and brewed the first full scale gyle in November 2011. The equipment was custom built for us in Burton upon Trent.

The brewery is on the beautiful Notley Farm estate on the Oxfordshire Buckinghamshire borders, with far reaching views over the Chiltern hills. We are as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible; recycling nearly all our waste products and our spent raw materials go to local farmers to feed their cattle and pigs.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Blonde more than gold with a creamy head. Has hops, but there’s plenty of malt in here too. A session ale in style and taste.

Cask gravity at XT Members night Thursday 5th March 2015 Dark ruby-red, dry in the mouth, I get quite a fruity tanginess and with a solid malty backbone. I rather like the oakiness ageing it’s softened the edges and made this a bit drier. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Cask at Merton Beer Festival Saturday 28th February 2015. Pale gold with white head, another very good looking beer from XT. Refreshing pleasant bitter beer, easy drinking, fruity. Lacks a little bit of body but to be fair it’s a session IPA and I guess in that sense it works pretty well and ticks the boxes. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
