Description
Damn Good Beer Brewed in the Centre of Cambridge:

You don’t get to call yourself a Brew House without backing it up. We do.

Right in the middle of our pub sits a working microbrewery. Vanessa runs it. She’s our Head Brewer, and she doesn’t mess around.

The taps rotate. There’s always something new. Show up and find out what’s on – your mouth’s been waiting for this.

Want to see how it’s made? Book a brewery tour or experience day. Vanessa will take you behind the scenes. You’ll sip, swirl, sniff (yeah, sniff) – and actually understand what makes beer worth drinking.

No fluff. No filler. Just damn good beer brewed the right way.

Changed name to King Street Brew House late 2025.

Gravity cask at Cambridge Winter Ales Festival. Dark brown, flat as a pancake. Chocolate fudge aroma with a hint of crystal malt. Full sweet chocolate taste. Short finish. Medium body but the lack of any carbonation detracts from the mouthfeel. Reasonable.

Cask from Brew House, Cambridge, Sunday 27th April 2014 Served in a nice dimpled little half pint mug, I love them :-) Gold in colour but hazy. A little wheaty from the off but a touch too sweet. The aftertase is a little harsh with the sweetness fading. Beerwise it is ok, for a wheat ale mmhh.. barely ok, not that refreshing and not that true to style. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Cask at the Cambridge Brew House, Cambridge. Golden Amber and a bit hazy. Gorgeous smell: peaches, grapefruit, pine and hay. Taste is bittersweet moving to a very bitter aftertaste. Slightly thin palette. Comparable in ways to SNPA but less depth likely due to the lower ABV. A very well composed sessionable pint which works in cask condition.

Cask at the source. It pours hazy golden yellow with a small white head. The nose is sweet dough, grain, light caramel, cereal and toast. The taste is grainy, hay, decent bitterness, light toast, grapefruit, pepper and lemon with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. I don’t the grainy mouth-feel. Fairly so-so.
