Description
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 (Wenlock Arms, London): Lazy aroma of bittering hops with a barnyardy touch, golden with a small fluffy white head; robust dry-bitter flavour, light to medium-bodied, low carbonation; average dry bitter and slightly fruity-yeasty finish. Nothing really unpleasant detectable, but really not great...........

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 11 Aug 2007) Dark amber colour with brief off-white head. Slightly malty nose with balanced notes of fruit (apricots and mandarin). Fruity taste with apricots, orange and a slightly malty background. Balanced bitterness in a slightly citrussy finish. Balanced (on the verge of modest), but tasty and nice.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 11/9/07. One of the Burton Bridge Gold Medal Ales, brewed in honour of Don Bradman. A reddish-copper colour with a slight off-white head. The aroma was of earthy hops and orange fruit. The flavour was sweet with a touch of marmalade and some bitterness in the finish. Good.

Bottled@GBBF2007. Dark ambery brown color, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, parfume, fruity hops and some caramel. Flavour is mildly roasted malts, caramel, some hops and wood. OK, but the flavour was a slight disappointment.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, with almost no head at all. Aroma is eggs, grains and some yeast. Pretty much the same goes for the flavour. Some slight notes of malts too. Perhaps a bad cask?

Cask at Duke of Wellington, Norwich. Gravity. Very deep ruby colour, off white head. Very roasted aroma, vergining on charcoal. Some dark fruits. Juicy in mouth, no real sourness, fairly good brambly fruit, lacks a little condition. Bit of powdery coffee on end. Nice fruit too.
