We are called Roman Way Brewery because we are located close to Watling Street, the first Roman Road built in Britain. This link to our Roman past gives us inspiration for the names of all our brews.
Our mission is to provide great real ale! Whether you visit us directly and sample one of our onsite events at the tap room or alternatively you discover our beers in one of the many free houses that you will find across the Northants region, we hope you enjoy the experience.
All our beer is hand-crafted and brewed using traditional methods. We use the highest-quality ingredients to ensure we create the best pint we can – always made with love, pride and care.

Handpull cask at the Pomfret Arms, Northampton. Lightish red and clear with a sizeable beige head. Light malty aroma with orange peel. Bittersweet taste, not quite astringent but the bitterness certainly shapes the flavour to the drying finish. Light body, soft carbonation. As simple as you like, but really decent.

Cask pint at The Fox, Carlton, Beds. Pours black with cream to beige foam. Toasty malts, coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. There's a vanilla type note that was too prominent, to my taste. Medium body with fine carbonation.
