Description
The Bullfinch Brewery was first set up in the kitchen of former travelling sound engineer, beer enthusiast and home brewer Ryan Mclean.
Ryan's travels have ignited a passion and love for great beer. His continuing commitment to the quality of beer and his enthusiasm have created Bullfinch Brewery and its contemporary take on craft beer here in the UK.
Ryan has been brewing professionally since 2014 and is making progressive beers that blend experimental ideas with traditional brewing methods and techniques.
Hidden away under a railway arch in South East London Ryan can be found brewing his modern ideas on a much loved and used, historic 5 Barrel kit originally built by Charles Wells.

330ml bottle. Hazy, dark amber colour with absurdely huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Fruity hoppy aroma has notes of gooseberry, red and blue berries, herbal notes of corresponding shrubs. Taste is minimally nuttily malty, husky, notes of (unripe) berries can’t counter adequately, minimal tartness, more herbal dry- than hop bitterness of the berries’ parings. Very British.

330ml Bottle - Hazy copper with a small head. Toffee, dried apricot and resinous hops in the aroma. Fruity and bitter taste with raisins, resinous hops and fruitcake. Nice but could do with a bit more balance. Enjoyable, though
