Description
Based on a busy working farm in the picturesque village of Bradfield in the Peak District, Bradfield Brewery have gone from milking 100 cows a day to brewing over 100,000 pints of beer a week! The brewery sprung to life with completion of its first Brew on 26th April 2005 and the brews have carried on flowing ever since.

Trivia: As the family had enjoyed 2 generations of farming at Watt House Farm and not wanting the cows to feel left out, some of the beers are named after breeds of cattle.

Pint of cask in the newly reopened village pub before lunch on Sunday. Good pour and looked brilliant in the glass. Not much nose. A typical easy drinking bitter. Very light malt and bitter hops. You could happily drink this all night. And that is the point. It's a beer for long afternoons or nights in the pub.

gave a cheers!

330ml bottle from Morrisons - jet black body with a short lasting off-white head. Sweet vanilla nose, creamy vanilla takes the sharpness of the roasted notes, slightly dusty cocoa vibe at the end.

Pink tinged amber gold with a frothy white head and a soft fruit biscuit aroma. Smooth with biscuit malt, strawberries and cream, a little hop kick and a dry bitter finish.

Handpull cask at the University Arms, Sheffield. Pinkish Red, clear with an off-white (with a soupçon of pink) head. It's got a lovely strawberries and cream aroma. Unfortunately this doesn't translate into the taste, which is medicinal with notes of straw and sulphur. There's some fruit buried way down here somewhere but my tongue isn't digging it out. Bitterness in the finish. Astringent. Light body with some sparkler-induced carbonation. Not my cup of tea, tastes like a boring beer infused with strawberry and it doesn't really work.
