About
Since 1985, we have been producing the very best cask, keg and bottled beers, using the finest ingredients, while at the same time supporting the Great British institution that is fondly known as the 'pub'.
Our reputation for consistent excellence in product quality and customer service is the reason our beers are served in more than 1,200 pubs and bars throughout the West Midlands and South Wales. In fact, we've gone from a humbling beginning of producing approximately 10 brewers' barrels a week to an average of 800 barrels per week - that's more than 12 million pints per year!

500ml bottle from Sainsbury's, London, England. Pours a clear gold color with an off-white head and decent retention. Decent lacing. Light bread and malt aroma. The taste follows the nose, with pale malts and more bread. Smooth and clean. Nothing special, just a textbook blonde. Medium-heavy body. Low carbonation. Low bitterness. Moreish.

Cask at The Royal Oak, Gretton. Clear pale gold, white head. Aroma of pale malts, slightly bready, fruity hop. Taste much the same, pale bready malts, citrusy, light floral, crisp bitter finish. Enjoyed this one.
Also had this later in the day at Corner Cupboard, Winchcombe, where I found it sweeter and the hop flavours not coming through as well. If I'd have only had this to rate I wouldn't have given it as high a score.

Handpull cask at the Morgan, Great Malvern. Light-ish gold, clear with a film of white head and good lacing. Deep bready notes on the nose with comparatively bright hop resulting in some overripe citrus and floral notes. The initial sweet taste leaves quickly, leaving a full bitterness in the mouth. The body is light and maybe a little bit oily, with next to zero carbonation. Not bad.
