Description
Dog's Window Brewery has grown from the enjoyment and passion of good beer. As a social occasion, three friends would get together and sample various homebrews. The conversation would often lead to "You should sell this stuff it's really good" and "If this was on the shelf in a shop I'd buy it". The comments were jokingly laughed off with a reply of "Yeah maybe one day". Well that "one day" came when I thought, why not? I certainly wouldn't be the first.

We are a small scale microbrewery, which allows us to concentrate more on quality than quantity. Hops are re-sealed with a vacuum sealer after use and kept in a freezer for freshness. It also allows us to design new beers without worrying about securing huge amounts of ingredients. So Dog's Window progressed from homebrew to what you see today.

Can at home in the garden, 31st July 24. Pours a lovely black beer, large head. Aroma is roasted malts, cocoa, dark chocolate and pine. Taste is roasted malts, cocoa, bitter, citrus and pine, it’s a real good BIPA, with loads of flavour for the low ABV

Keg @ Brecon Tap after a ride up Brecon Gap. Pours dark, hazed, good pale tan collar. Roasty nose. Flavour profile delivers a solid roasty espresso alongside a deep dark malt base, some dried dark fruit hints, distant Nelson Sauvin notes coming into view. Interesting BIPA, nicely done.
