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.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with nice lacing. Nose - orange, floral and bready. Taste - citrus and flowers again. Palate - light to medium bodied. Dry and balanced bitterness through middle and finish. Overall - more of an English IPA we reckoned. Will take the ESB rate though.
