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!

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at PR1 Bar in Preston. Clingy lacing from a stable, off-white head. Clear copper coloured body. Light dark doughy aromas. Brown malty flavours, caramel and toffee, followed by a bittersweet tail. Quite alright Brit bitter. (05.02.2019).

På PR1. Delt med Rune. Dyprød. Tett filmskum med litt farge. Tykk teppelacing. Forsiktig nøttearoma. Smaken mørke frukter & nøtter. Innholdsrik.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - cookie dough and resin. Taste - more dough, some dried orange. Palate - close to medium bodied and creamy. Dry balanced finish. Overall - not such a typical golden ale. Getting into Bitter territory. Not bad at all.
