At Zest brewery we make an excellent range of beers brimming with quality, character and passion all infused with a touch of Planet Rock!
Zest Brewery has been borne from merging centuries’ old brewing techniques with progressive thinking to deliver a range of both traditional and innovative beers of outstanding quality in cask, bottle and canned format.
The lessons learnt from our Oldershaw Brewery roots are being used to continue to look after our local customers, to start our mobile bar business offering both static pop up bars of various sizes and also a converted horsebox bar – Bar Zest – and to broaden our bespoke bottling capability.
Beers are available to trade through direct delivery and wholesale distribution. Casks of beer are available for parties, weddings, corporate events and all celebrations.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear rich gold with a small white head. The aroma is rich, pungent, grassy, liquorice, fennel, spice and a touch of plastic. The taste is smooth, rich, straw, peppery spice, aniseed and a some green vegetables. Finish is peppery and rather dry. Medium body and soft carbonation. Can’t say I love Sorachi single hopped beers... Odd flavour profile.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth with reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts. Tangy orange and tangy lemon. Smoother Sorachi lemon cream. Finishes fruity tangy and leaves a mild bitter linger. Sorachi elevates this one.

Gravity poured, third of a pint: 24th Aug 2016, Peterborough CAMRA beer festival. Light golden pour, weak white head. This is yet another golden citrusy led beer, so much like all the rest. Scored objectively, even if I am fed up with the style.
