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.

Very dark ruby, creamy small cappuchino head. Sweetish coffee nose. Roasted, a bit sweet, licorice in the flavor. Watery but interesting session porter.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A nut-brown beer with a small light brown head. The aroma is sweet nutty. The flavor is very roasted giving it a dryness combined with sourness due to lack of residual sugar. The body is thin.
