XT Brewing
Microbrewery
in Long Crendon,
Buckinghamshire,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: XT Brewery
Established in 2011
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 at Reading BF] Dark brown with a moderate beige head. Rich roasted malt, chocolate and smoke faile to cover up a rather thin mouthfeel. But it’s a decent mild, nevertheless.

[Cask at Reading BF] Pale amber. The apricot is there, but it’s not too dominant, and is set against a nice smooth creamy oak and vanilla background with some light floral hints. Very mellow and rather pleasant.

[Cask at Reading Beer Festival] I’ve got a fence all around my garden. Nothing special mid; just cheap sawn wood in a lattice with several coats of creosote, and a few splats of earth from careless gardening. But for all it’s cheapness, I’m still upset that XT have stolen it and ground it up to make this dark brown beer with a beige head. Sure, they’ve tried to disguise it with a splash of red wine, a little chocolate and some vanilla, but there’s no doubt that the woody taste dominating the beer is my fence. Now I’m going to have to spend the bank holiday weekend building a new one. I’m not happy.

Cask/GD at the 14th Egham Beer Festival at the EUSC, 28/03/13. Clear golden amber with a thinnish frothy off white head that retains well. Nose carries smokey tones, burnt toffee, TCP, light medicinal notes. Taste comprises caramel, hops, citrus fruits, bitter notes. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry in the finish. Ok stuff.

Cask at the Henly Brew House, Henley. Reddish amber with a tight cream head; tropical fruit aroma, but papaya and kiwi rather than the usual mango; rich and buttery in the mouth with more tropical fruit, grapefruit and pineapple; followed quickly by a crisply bitter finish with citrus and pine cones. Very satisfying.

Cask at Egham United Services Club Easter Beer Festival 2013. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Tastes fruity, hoppy, some caramel. An easy drinking amber ale.
