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.

Santa's Christmas Porter from Burton Bridge Brewery
5 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 4
Bottle online from 'The Trembling Madness'. Label says Festive Christmas Porter 4.5%. Pours a very very dark brown almost black colour with no head. Aromas of roasted malts, caramel, chocolate and a hint of liquorice. Taste has more caramel coffee and a big roasty bitterness on the finish. Thin watery body, low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. The taste is ok but the beer is lifeless and has no condition whatsoever.

Damn Dog (prev Dam Dog) from Burton Bridge Brewery

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford – as Damn Dog Pours a very dark (but clear) reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Has a strong aroma of plums / damsons. In the mouth there is an overall sweetness and dark fruits predominate , along with cherries, red wine gums and a hint of roast malts. Finish is herbal and fruity. I really liked this, but it didn’t have much of a “stout” character.

4.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford Pours a pale yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Nose is straw with hints of lemon. Nothing much memorable in the mouth either, some citrus and caramel, that’s all. Some lemon in the finish. Swiggable and forgettable.

Bramble Stout from Burton Bridge Brewery
6 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7
Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a tight cream head and good lacing. Nose has hints of dark fruits and chocolate. In the mouth the taste is mainly milky coffee and dark fruits, but the fruits take over as the beer warms up (it was served too cold). Finish is mainly fruity but with some traces of liquorice. A good solid stout – brambles not overdone.

Empire Pale Ale from Burton Bridge Brewery

8.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 10 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Bottle delivered from the Offie, Leicester. Orange/brown, hazy and almost completely flat. Aroma of TCP, golden syrup, notes of papaya and tamarind. Perfect taste, simultaneously syrupy sweet and intensely astringent. The astringency increases to the finish with notes of fruited caramel and more TCP in the aftertaste. Low but not completely absent carbonation. A revelation.

Tickle Brain Ale from Burton Bridge Brewery

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle from Beers of Europe - looks like I had this before with friends at my house, as their ratings are there, but must've been too pissed to rate it. Anyway.... Appearance - dark honey to brown colour. Very slightly off white head. Nose - sultanas, honey and syrup. Taste - more honey, sultanas, orange peel. Palate - rich bodied, tangy sour texture. Bittersweet, tangy finish. Overall - very interesting beer, though not really a Dubbel. A bit challenging but interesting all the same.

Large foamy white head stayed on an unclear light amber coloured still body. Bubble gum aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & gassy in the mouth with dry clean back. Confectionery, stone fruit, hoppy, bitter under ripe fruit & melon tastes with big tangy fruity finish. This is good!

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton Pours a golden yellow with a generous white head and good lacing. Nose has some floral hops, but not much else. In the mouth the main taste iscitrus (lemon and orange) but also some rich tea biscuits and malts. The finish is lemony, but this fades into simple bitterness. A nice beer but not outstanding.
