Description
3PS is a small nano brewery, set in the South Derbyshire village of Woodville Swadlincote.
It was established by a budding enthusiastic home brewer, who has a passion for traditional cask ales. Woodville was once renowned for its, "Pits Pots & Pipes" hence the name 3Ps was born.
Incorporating the freshest natural ingredients possible, and never far from an experiment or two, our aim is to create something just that little bit different, yet still retaining that cask ale tradition. All our ales come in small packages, called pins, it gives us flexibility to create different ales,and a better choice to our suppliers not having 9 gallons of one type of ale.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a dark copper with minimal off-white head. Some hints of hops and nuts in the aroma – but not much else. It the mouth it is quite bitter and fruity with underlying malts and oranges. Plus hints of spice, treacle and aniseed leading to a fruity and slightly dry finish/ An unusual and interesting beer – pretty decent too.
