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.

Dobre wrazenie pozostawia ten porter o ciemnym i intensywnie czarnym kolorze. Piana gigantyczna puszysta i dobrze uformowana. Osad na dnie calkiem spory. W smaku sporo czekolady, ciut karmelu i chmielowy wytrawny finisz. Elegandzko skomponowane.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Gold with a thick creamy head & a light fizz. The creamy lemon up front is pleasant enough; the dirty cardboardy bitterness that follows is less so. Not one of the better beers at this fest.

Cask at the moon under water JDW watford. Golden good creamy persistent head. Aroma lemon grass woody and yeast. Flavour has a Bready wheat character a little sweet initially then the bitterness comes in and the finish is dry. It is a dry grassy bitterness. Noble hip a little biting.

Cask at The Bear (JDW), Maidenhead. A clear straw pour with a thin, brilliant white, head that laced the glass nicely; fresh floral aroma; floral flavour to start with a floury body; then a pleasant, fruity, bitterness leading to a clean finish, with some dry wheaty biscuit to end - Jacob’s Cream Crackers come to mind. Overall a refreshing summer beer.
