Description
Ridgeway Brewing​ was established in 2002 by master brewer Peter Scholey (former head brewer at Brakspear) and his wife Vanda. The name comes from the ancient trade route that winds its way through English countryside between small towns. It has been around for thousands of years, adapting with the changing times, The reason why we chose the name Ridgeway, apart from living on it, was that we hope to create lasting experiences, believe in the long term and love the outdoors.

Bought by Crafty Brewing in February 2025.

Drank straight from the 500ml bottle. Very mild porter flavor. I don't know if I would've been able to identify it as a porter without reading the bottle. No bad flavors, it's just kinda bland.

330ml bottle, 2015 vintage (#48502). Poured into a Westmalle chalice at home on 5th Oct 2019. Golden body, wispy white topping. Barley sugar sweet and lovely, cobweb aging just about right. Really enjoyed it.
