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.

Wooden cask at the 31st Ealing Beer Festival, Walpole Park, 15/07/22. Golden copper with a white head. Nose is mellow fruits, vinous, oak, herb, straw. Taste comprises wooded notes, caramel, spruce, earthy fruits, biscuit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough bitter ... not sure the wood is lifting it from the base beer tbh.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] An intriguing semi-translucent mahogany coloured pour with a thin beige head; toasted grain aroma; smooth oats body with treacle and charred malts; the malts adding a little bitterness before a treacly finish.A nice mild.

500ml bottle; BB 28th May 2021. Drank at home on 1st Sep 2020. Clean body, old gold in colour, white crown. Nice hoppy feel to this without it going overboard with bitterness of citrus flavours. Malts play their part too, pleasant IPA all round.
