Description
Stroud Brewery was established in 2006 by Greg Pilley and his wife Jade. The business has grown steadily and now employs over 20 people. We recently constructed a brand new building purpose built for our growing needs. It provides more space for the brewery, allowing an increase in our production capacity, a larger office and a canal-side tap with beautiful views of the Golden Valley.

We have created a range of organic beers that we are really proud of, because they taste great and their production supports the local farmers and the ecosystems they manage. The standards we must adhere to for organic certification support our ambition to be a business that cares for people and planet.

Keg at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Golden, clear with zero head. Very weak aroma with bready yeast and some apricot. Sweet taste with a gentle bitterness. Short to medium finish with tangerine peel in the aftertaste. Heavy carbonation. Not a lot in this, which is a shame, but it's tasty enough and refreshing.

500ml bottle @ Itadiki Zen. Pours clear amber, medium off-white head. Malty caramel nose. Taste is predominantly malty, leafy, bitter with some caramel and a defined nuttiness. Not my go-to style of bitter I have to say but there's plenty here for those that appreciate it.
