The Craft Beer Kitchen team will guide you through the brewing process from start to finish. From choosing a brew date to bottling and collecting your brand new creation. We will ensure that your Brewday is both fun filled and smooth sailing. Then it is over to you to stick your beer in the fridge and perhaps most importantly, toast your success!

Having booked your brewday either online or by phone, you will be faced with the rather tricky challenge of choosing what beer you would like to brew. From a fruity, hoppy pale ale to a Belgian Tripel, we have over sixty delicious beery delights for you to decide between. Then comes the part where you get your hands dirty. Under the Brewmasterβs watchful and experienced eye, you will begin your step by step brewing process. The only thing that Craft Beer Kitchen team will do is ensure that your beer ferments and carbonates as required so that it is ready for when you return in 2 β 3 weeks for your hands-on/rather unglamorous bottling shift. The rest is down to you!

Bottle courtesy of Craig and Stella, cheers you two!, had this at home Sunday 12th August 2018 after Fairport Annual Reunion Festival at Cropredy, Oxon. Pours light amber with just a few bubbles. Wow this is a tart and sour beer. Lots of passion fruit coming through, I get lime and raspberry but noted that lime isn't in here. Good beer, it's just a shame that I'm not into it this type of thing today. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.5

Bottle shared at Craft CG - big thanks to James. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, brown bread, sultana, raisin, fruit cake, light vanilla and nougat. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, sugary, spicy, chewy malt, cola, raisin, sultana, nougat, cola cubes and a touch of alcohol warmth. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. A touch sweet for me, but not bad overall.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - clear golden, neat lacy head. Nose - light banana, but yeast dominated. A bit like kefir in fact. Taste - oh, very sweet and fruity, almost strawberry. Palate - dry-ish finish even though the middle is a bit sweet. Overall - interesting.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - soft toffee, brown bread. A hint of orange. Taste - burnt brown bread and a touch of grassiness. Palate - light bodied, but not as light as expected. Dry and balanced. Overall - almost tastes like a real drink. Good!

Bottle shared at Craft CG - big thanks to Allmyvinyl for the hook-up! It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, tangy fruits, apple pie, some greenness, aniseed and fennel. The taste is crisp, dry, touch of tartness, white grape, apple skin, green, woody, fennel, aniseed, aloe Vera, sherbet and lemon-peel. Finish is drying. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Unusual, but in a good way. Way better than expected.
