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.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Maidenhead Beer Festival 20/10/2017. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. A pleasant pale ale, with citrus hops, tangerine fruits and biscuity malts, leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Thin beige head left a cover on an opaque, sandy coloured body. Hoppy aroma with hints of malt. Medium bodied, minimal carbonation. To the fore there’s dull malts which quickly changes to bitter hoppy tastes with pith & tropical fruits.

Keg at the Euston Tap, West Lodge, 03/08/17. Murky amber orange with a moderarely appointed light beige cap that dissipates to a swirl. Noseach is caramel, light citric peel, toasted grains, bready vibes. Taste comprises airy malts, sweet overtures, light spice, orange pith, Rye bread, hint of soap. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with modest hop bitterness. So so for style.
