Description
Dolphin Brewery is a small batch brewery operating in a garage, just outside Reading. We might be limited in size, but we’re certainly not limited in our passion for making top-quality craft beers. We make seasonal and one-off releases in a range of different styles, from sours, to stouts, and most things in between. Being small allows us ultimate control. We are hands-on throughout each step of the brewing process; from designing the recipe to bottling each beer, every batch is carefully crafted with passion and care.

On tap at Gaia Folkestone Tap Takeover. Clear red colour no head. Spur aroma. Certainly grapefruit led and raspberry. Flavour. Raspberry pippiness. Really good sour. Surprised. Decent .not Belgian lambic but better than run of the mill sour UK. You can taste the real fruit.
