Description
We, Baz and Graeme, have two things in common above all else. One, we are brothers. More importantly, we love all things beer! Our shared passion evolved into a brewing hobby and together we are now doing our darnedest to turn that hobby into something more.

We have formed The Meanwood Brewery and hope to open a micropub and onsite brewery in our beloved Meanwood, combined into what we are calling a microbrewpub. The whole thing is a mammoth undertaking and we've only just started.

Rather than share a polished product at the end and fight to convince folk to care, we've decided to share everything, warts and all, here with you. When things go well or terribly we're going to put it all out there for you to see. As we learn to be better brewers, research the industry, and turn from amateurs to pros, we want you to experience it all with us.y.

The Mavericks found fame with their 1998 hit 'Dance The Night Away'. If they'd have brewed this they wouldn't. Too sweet, with rich sugary-sweet medicinal levels of strawberry, it's overbearing as a beer.

Fra cask på Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Tropisek frukter, bitterappelsin og furunål. Kompleks, smaksrik og ganske tørr. Mild citrus, florale toner, lett bitterhet og god ff. Slank og med ganske tørr avslutning

Keg at Craft Beer Co St Mary Axe. Pale waxy yellow. Frothy white head soon almost entirely disappears. Aroma is herbal,.citrusy. Makes me think of the Greek salad I had on Sunday and now forget the name of. Bitter for sho'. Herbal. Citrusy. Mouth drying tart streak. Beneath this I am just getting the East Coast element - sweet fruit and sweet porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on oily. Flat carbonation has a limp attempt at being fizzy. Long definitely dry and astringent finish. I liked this. The hops meld for an interesting and bitter Hazy Pale.

Лучшее пиво вечера. Приятный баланс во всем, сладости, терпкости, кофе и шоколадом. Сливочность также есть на глотке. Хороший питкий портер со сливой, ягодами и черри.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 28th March 2025. Intensely dark sepia brown with pale tan foam and scant lacing. Chocolate and candied fruits and peels in aroma. Dark chocolate, cherries and citrus notes in-mouth, and a finish of chocolate, coffee and citrus. Medium bodied with an engaging mouthfeel. A fair bit going on. Interesting.

Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico. Rich vanilla, creme brulee aroma. Gorgeous black with lasting foam. Has good bitterness but overall too sickly sweet.

Half cask at Sheffield Tap. Hazy yellow pour, thin tight white head, some lacing. Aroma is ripe tropical fruit, papaya, mango. Taste is fruity with an upfront dry bitterness, tropical fruit, citrus zest. Big presence up front, but rappers off to nothing.
