Description
The Idle Brewery was launched in 2007 in premises next door to the White Hart pub in West Stockwith. The first brew was Idle Landlord followed by Idle Brewer. The brewery has sold beers to many outlets and many beer festivals but the main sale has always been to the White Hart pub which is the brewery tap. In September 2012 head brewer Brian Cooper and his wife took over and extensively refurbished the White Hart and now Brian only brews for use in the pub.

Pale yellow beer. Sour and malty aroma, not like a golden beer. Good sweet-sour balance and fresh finish. Not bad.

Cask at Baxter’s Court, JDW, London. Pours clear gold with a small, white cream head. Doughy pale malt nose. Light to medium sweet with notes of hay and plastic. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Light sweetness at the end with moderate straw and faint plastic bitterness. A mediocre beer that seems to be in rather poor shape - or perhaps it’s just a downright bad beer. Who knows...

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Clear brown beer. Horrible nose of old socks and cheese. Taste is sour malt. Sour aftertaste. Can’t be right!

On gravity at the Green Man, Bristol 15/09/2011. Dark brown with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of dark fruit, honey and roasted malts. Flavour was sweet and slightly earthy, with more fruit and a hint of honey, before a dryish finish. Ok.
