About
The Craft Academy helps craft new talent and unbottle potential by giving young people the chance to earn while they learn about brewing, design, marketing and sales. With the help of experienced mentors, the 18 month course teaches participants industry-specific skills as they work towards a bespoke apprenticeship qualification, all while creating beers under the Craft Academy brand and bringing them to market.

The Florence has a long history of being a brew pub. Formally the home of Head in the Hat brewery; a heritage brewery that proudly called us their home until 2015. Continuing this rich history we are proud to welcome Craft Academy as our new in house brewing team.

Bottle(s) at the Crown, Hazlemere, 11/05/17. Golden copper with a decent off white cap. Nose is caramel, orange, bread dough, grains, lemon sherbet. Taste comprises caramel malt, toasted bread, light spice, faint pine lick, orange peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with moderate hop bitterness. Fine for what it is ... would rather drink bottles of this in the local as opposed to cask GK IPA!

Keg at the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Deep gold, clear. Very, very, very fizzy with a medium to large white head. Aroma is extremely muted. There’s some gummy/resinous hop notes, but not much at all really. The taste is bitter and astringent, with a startling lack of balance that continues to the messy long finish. Well-carbonated, I’ll say that much for it. A poor rendition of the style.

Bottle from the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Deep gold colour, very clear and very fizzy. The looseish white head on top dissipates fairly quickly. Smells of mango, cantaloupe and Circus Peanuts (banana flavoured marshmallow candy). Tastes incredibly sweet and incredibly artificial, with notes of bubblegum and Irn-Bru. But, you know, it’s not all that bad. Short finish, and far too carbonated. A weird brew for sure but not nearly the disaster I was anticipating.
