Description
Driven by a passion for a quality product, Parbold's first microbrewery.

Jonny likes nothing better than a decent pint! So much so, he built a brewery intending to capture flavours from his imagination. We like to think it’s ‘his passion’ that goes into making these cask conditioned ales so good. We’d love you to sample his magic.

…. And if you ever thought where did that name come from?

The Problem Child name originates from Parbold’s prodigal Rachel. Jonny’s wife and business partner. Born and bred in Parbold, she wandered afar as a Problem Child in her teens, now home, and brewing happily!

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: lett uklar lys gylden med fint skum som varer. Beske citrusfrukter, urter og litt gress. Tørr og besk. The aroma is much better than the taste, which I honestly find distinctly uncharming.
