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.

440ml can. Clear amber with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of malts, dried fruits, caramel. Taste is slightly sweet, malty, dried fruits and caramel, a bit nutty and a bit of a citrus tang. Not bad.

440ml can. Almost clear golden, big white head. Aroma of bready malts and citrus fruits. Taste is quite citrusy, orange and grapefruit, sweet bready malts, floral/grassy notes and a bitter finish. A nice easy going pale, leaning towards APA in style, I thought this was rather pleasant. I couldn't believe this was Fuggles and it turns out it isn't, it's Amarillo now. Much better! Definitely been a recipe change at some point.

Fortsatt godt lesbare og relativt pålitelige notater fra GBBF-23. Fra keg og delt med Steven: klar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Friskt og fruktig anslag med søt citrus og lyse tropiske frukter. Hint av pære. Mild bitterhet, lettdrikkelig og mye mersmak på en sommerdag som dette.

Not what I call a juicy IPA. Bitter and a bit dry, classic
