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.

330ml bottle: BBE Sep 2019. Bought in a dodgy Off-Licence in Brixton and drank at home on 10th Aug 2019. Golden amber body, clean and clear, off-white lasting head. Caramel lead to the nose and taste with some citrus fruit esters also. Flavours are semi-sweet from the caramalt and semi-citrus bitter from the Galaxy and Simcoe hops, light piney resinous hints too. Liked it.
