Description
Ideal Day Family Brewery are focused on three things: family (it’s in the name), beer (also, kind of in the name) and regenerative agriculture (bet you didn’t see that one coming). We are based in the Tamar Valley in Cornwall which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Our brewery is on Crocadon Farm near Saltash.

We make beers focused on where our ingredients, especially our grain, comes from and how it was farmed. Our brewing inspiration comes from Belgium farmhouse traditions, classic British beers and modern innovation. It’s what we love doing. We strive to create tasty beers while supporting farmers who are saving our soils and ecosystems with regenerative agriculture.

A light haze on this amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, a mild dryness, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Light smooth malts, a soft and mild creamy sweetness with a whisper of caramel. The unnamed English hops bring soft pine and a typical smorgasbord of orchard fruits and all sorts, tightly bound together. Traces of citrus peel and apricot bubble to the surface. Airy and mildly crisp finish. Goes down very easy. From the label, these guys are keen on English hops, so a brewery I will look out for.

On tap at That Beer Place, Chester. Pours strongly hazy straw with minimal almost white head. The aroma is quite sweet with prominent citrus and lemon. In the mouth it is stabbingly sharp with lemon the main flavour. There’s also herbal greenery, grapes and gooseberries with hints of kiwi and lime later on. Finish is somewhat sticky. This is decent – though not my type of beer at all.

Cask at the Cock Tavern, Hackney on 5th July 2026. Almost clear gold with shallow foam that evaporates without lace. Zest on malt in aroma. Rich zesty citrus and nutty maltiness in-mouth, and a finish of earthy notes and tangy fruits. Medium bodied with a velvet smooth texture. Very pleasant.

Cask at Whitlock's Ale House, Leeds. Clear copper gold. Foamy white head. Aroma had light sweet fruit with a sour edge. Underlying grains. Flavourwise it's gpt a tart edge to very sweet core. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Just didn't do it for me.
