Description
There's a method in Mr Winter's madness. From the brew to the bottle, we carefully consider every element of our range to give you a taste of the unexpected.

With IPAs, golden ales and stouts in our range, we have a beer for every palate. From light and fruity, to dark and nutty, each one combines high-quality hops with barely, water and yeast to create a unique, full-bodied flavour.

Started in September 2001 by Dave Winter, as Winter’s Brewery. In early 2020, the brewery changed it's branding to the current MrWinter’s.

...and three years later, a new rating. Bottle, picked up somewhere in north Norfolk. Deep gold. Nothing really that you call a head. Nose has toffee. Sweet wort. Hint of dessert apple. Taste is significantly better than the aroma, and is punchy, pithy bitter, with a little toffee sweetness. Pretty flat and dull mouthfeel. Pithy bitterness to finish.
