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.

500ml bottle from Centurion Vintners, Stroud. Clear reddish-amber in colour with a very short-lived off-white head. Lively carbonation. Rich fruit cake aroma of fruit, nuts and caramel, with some liquorice lurking in the background. Full mouth feel with chunky sweet malts, plenty of fruit and some marzipan. The finish was rather short with some warming alcohol. Good.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, not much head. Mainly nectar and fruit in the aroma. Flavour is really nectary and wooden. Quite sweet, but still quite boring.
