About
A little like Willy Wonka…we can’t reveal too many of our brewing secrets (although we have no oompa-loompas in the brewhouse!) but can tell you we do follow traditional brewing methods.

One thing we are VERY strict about are our ingredients – only the very best on the market for all our brews. For most of our beers we only use four basic ingredients – Malt, hops, yeast and water. That’s it. For our beers with that little something extra we use only natural ingredients – nothing artificial in our brewery!

We are really proud of our recipes for all our popular core brands and feel we have something for everyone in our huge portfolio of ales.

Akaw IPA from Byatt's Brewery
1 year ago
7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Cask at the White Swan, Solihull. Poured a mostly clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fresh, toffee, yeasty, mango, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask. Dark brown near mahogany pour with thin beige head. Chocolate, roasted malt, dried fruit, hint of molasses in the flavour. Decent bittersweet balance. Could do with a bit more in the finish but its not bad.

Can from Dragon Inn, Birmingham. Clear gold with big fluffy white head. Notes of wafer like malts, lime, grapefruit. Has a fresh sessionable quality to it with a nice soft mouthfeel although a touch high in frothy carbonation. Enjoyable though.

Gone Rogue from Byatt's Brewery

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Cask at The White Swan, Solihull. Pours mahogany with smooth off white top. Quite a malty beer with some red fruit and a leafy hop. Smooth and easy to drink. To be honest it tasted like an average premium bitter so calling it a Red IPA is really pushing it.
