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.

50cl bottle from Budgens, Belsize Park. A murky looking mid-brown pour with a billowing beige head, and an attracive golden glow when held to the light; a pleasant malty taste with a hint of chocolate malt; and a gentle, prickly, bitterness to finish. Very much let down by the appearance.

50cl bottle from Budgens, Belsize Park. A rather cloudy amber pour with a tight cream head; floral aroma; soft and grainy in the mouth, with some citrus fruit and some fruity malts; and a pleasingly crisp bitterness to finish. A pleasant golden ale.
