West Hewish, Weston-super-Mare, UK - BS24 6RR, England
Description
Brewing started behind the Royal Clarence Hotel, and in those days trading as the Royal Clarence Hotel Brewery, in Burnhan-on-Sea in August 1982. A 5 barrel brew plant was used primarily to supply the hotel only. The brewery was taken over in May 1984 and the beers became more available in the free trade. Due to problems with the water supply, the brewery was using that much that hotel guests could not wash, the brewery moved in January 1993 to an old cider mill in West Hewish, Weston-super-Mare. Capacity was tripled during the move and in 2000 work started on upgrading the plant to a 30 barrel brew length. The brewery closed in early 2017 but relaunched shortly afterwards as Pitchfolk Brewery.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds dry pale bread, light hay. Light sweet flavour with simple pale, bready malt character, touches of lemon rind. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty well balanced to finish, with more citrus rind, pale bread, some grainy biscuits and hay. Not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Draper’s Arms, Bristol, 27/9/2016. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Cereal malts, hedgerow fruits, leafy hops and a touch of root ginger, before a decent, bitter, finish. Good.

Calderdale Beer Festival 2016. My full notes on this beer were sadly lost when the Ratebeer app failed and deleted this and others stored in it.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours black with a tiny head. The aroma is rich, oily, treacle, toasted malt and syrupy fruits. The taste is rich, sweet, oily, Dandelion & Burdock, plum pie, roasty, earth and a touch of ash with a drying finish. Light - medium body and decent carbonation. Has more depth of flavour than your standard mild. I quite like it.
