Description
When good friends Ray Ashworth and David Crease got tired of the same old beers, they were determined to change things up a level. With a passion for homebrewing and creating authentic flavours, they became part of a new-wave revolution, handcrafting their own beers in the 1960s.

In 1981 they founded their own brewery near Norwich and moved to a converted farm complex in the picturesque Broadland village of Woodbastwick in 1989

Cask Conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - Shakespear’s Head, London
Dark brown color, no head. Light caramel aroma; cheesy. It has a good flavor, some caramel and chocolate, well balanced, in a lean body, with butter and nuts, creamy cookies, mmmh...; correct bitterness. Subtle and very pleasant!
