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 the Moon & Spoon (JDW), Slough. Poured pitch black with a reddish glow and a dense cream head - looking just like a Porter should; aroma of chocolate malt and coffee; rich chewy dark malt flavours, with some coffee, chocolate and smoke; deeply dry and bitter finish with some coffee grounds and aniseed thrown in. All in all, an excellent Porter.

Cask at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge. A rather plain and non-descript bitter; hits all the right notes, but instantly forgetable. Gold with a rapidly fading white head; nice malty body; some light bitterness to finish. Next.
