About
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 at the Bootlegger, High Wycombe] Amber red with a moderate white head. Pleasant soft fruity malt is balanced with orange, pine and tropical fruit. Maybe a little restrained, but very enjoyable and easy to drink in a mellow kind of way. In fact, I could and would like to drink a lot of this. Yet another great beer from this excellent young brewery, which is rapidly ovetaking Chiltern as my favourtie Bucks brewery.

8 Dark Roast from XT Brewing

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Cask at The Anchor, Birmingham. Poured a nice dark brown colour with a reddish hue and a frothy tan head. The aroma is rich fruity and surprisingly alcoholic. The flavour is medium bitter and follows the aroma with some nice smooth liquorice bitterness on the palate. A lovely heart warming beer. Ideal for consumption in front of a lovely open fire in the wintertime.
