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.

Can from RHS Wisley shop. Aroma is nutty with a some coffee. Sour berry edge. Muddy pondwater brown. Fluffy bubbly foamy white head is large and lively. Decent lacing. Tangy sour berries to the fore. And they really do dominate the flavour. Vague underlying nutty hints and sweetness. The sweetness is slightly more evident in the very finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice... unclear on what the hemp is contributing but doesn't diminish my score.

440ml can. Slightly hazed golden, huge dense white head. Aroma is herbaceous, grassy, citrusy. Taste is herbaceous and grassy, zesty, citrus, light sweetness but ends pretty dry. Light bodied. Can says it'll be tingly and I guess it is but I think that might just be the somewhat high carbonation - which works here. Not such depth of flavour but an interesting and enjoyable one.

440ml can. Hazy yellow with some sediment, white head. Aroma of light pale malts with lemon zest and elderflower. Taste is light, pale malts, lemon zest, elderflower. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. A true session ale at just 2.6%, the lemon and elderflower additions doing enough to keep it interesting.
