Description
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.

Draft at the bar near Victoria coach station. Clear amber with a cream head. Aroma of butterscotch, toffee, malt and citrus. Flavour is above light sweet and above moderate bitter. Light to medium bodied with very soft carbonation. A lot more juicy than the aroma first suggests.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Offie & Toffee. Pours totally clear orange-gold, effervescent, with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma holds dry pale malts, some English yeast, hay, lightly aged tangerine peel. Lightly sweet with some doughy pale malts, grassy and husky bittereness, lemon rind. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Finishes with further vague citrus notes, dry bready malts, lingering bitter grass and grain husk. Very ho hum.
