Crocadon Farm, Saltash, PL12 6RL, England
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.

Draft third in Good Libations, Southampton on 29th November 2023. Pours a hazy dull orange, white head. More hoppy than malty, more East Coast than 'Way Out West' to me. Refreshing and not what I was expecting.

On tap at Caps and Taps, Tufnell Park. Unclear brownish body, bubbles on the surface, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of grainy fruits. Mix taste of jammy fruits and grain. Short bitter tail. Fair enough. (London, O5.12.2023).

Keg at Pigs Ear '23, day two, 29/11/23. Almost clear golden blonde topped with an off white head. Nose is tangy citric shreds, herb, straw, light yeast fizz. Taste comprises yeast esters, straw, barnyard, lemon nip, light white peppery spice, grains, stale bread. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent Belgian affair ... saison like.

Keg at Brownhill & Co, Leeds. Pours hazy yellow with a thick white head. Aromas of peppery salmon yeast (might have loaded this in the wrong category, but there wasn't much to go on!). Taste is doughy, light grassy hop and spice. Fresh finish

Fra fat på The Hop Locker. Uklar korngylden med ok skum. Lys malt og tydelige kryddertoner fra gjæren. Mild bitterhet og tørr avslutning.

Keg at the Cock Tavern - Hackney. Pours murky orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Big apricot character, like a glass of dried apricots, some light pine, citrus, pale bread. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation and somewhat oddly oily mouthfeel. Apricot and citrus in the finish, restrained bitterness. Interesting.
