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.

33cl Bottle from Biolicious. Thanks Manon! Clear deep golden colour, white head. Aroma of grassy hops, later more mellow and light fruity, hint of citrus, malts. Flavour is soft, malty, crisp, grassy, light citrus, sweet fruits, light floral, firm bitter finish. Light bodied, refreshing. I was looking forward to a good lager, and this didn’t disappoint one bit. Nice.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Clear golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste lightly malts, decent tropical fruits in there, slightly sweetish in the aroma, slightly bitter in the taste. A bit low bodied, average carbonation. Ok, but not quite it.
