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.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Clear bright gold beer with a few white bubbles for a head. Smooth semi dry palate with mild fine carbonation. Light pale malts being a mild honey sweetness. Peach and apricot ensue with a trace of orchard fruits. Floral bitterness comes in and ramps up to something fairly strong. Smooth dry finish. Long floral bitter linger. Great peach - apricot, really elevates this.

Over roasted, burnt maltiness in the nose and taste, dry, bitter and showing slight coffee and dark chocolate notes from the malts. Decent.
