About
Burton Bridge Brewery is a traditional style brewery that produces a wide range of beers.
We have stillaging and cooling equipment, will organise a selection of beers for you to approve and set it all up
For something a little different ask if we have our vintage Morris dray available. It has been on display at festivals and was used as a hearse for a funeral.
Mid-2024 the ownership of the Burton Bridge brewery has changed hands in a merger which also ensures the future of the town’s Heritage brewery.
The deal sees Burton Bridge come under the umbrella of leisure company Planning Solutions, which previously ran the National Brewery Centre in Burton, prior to Molson Coors’ decision to close it.

Cask at Moon under Water, Stafford. Very surprised I haven’t rated this before, as I’ve drunk it a number of times. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma, just some vague floral hops. In the mouth sweet malts and grains are to the fore to begin with. Followed swiftly by crisp apples along with an underlying biscuit base. Later still an acrid sharpness pervades the beer, and this is what dominates the finish. It’s OK I guess, but let down by the finish.

Cask at Seven Stars, Derby (not listed in RateBeer). Pours a bright copper with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma – plus some hints of nuts. Malts again upfront in the mouth, where the general sensation is bitter-sweet (oscillates between the two). Autumn fruits and mushy stewed apples are there too with a few hints of general spices. Finish is a little more bitter. This is OK, but doesn’t set the world alight.
