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.

Cask @ King's Head, Huddersfield. Dark red with a creamy head. It's a fine session textured ale with lightly sweetened light malts and a lowish bitterness. Pleasant.

Cask. Old Crown, Handsworth, Sheffield. Clear, copper colour. Sparkler induced, creamy, off white head. Nose has nutty malts. Some dried fruit. Bit of a yeasty twang. Taste is mostly dry, and light, vine fruit bitter. Light body. Vinous finish. Well, it’s completely bland as you’d expect from a Bradfield beer, but it’s not badly brewed. It’s just brown.

On cask at Steel City Beer Festival - Hazy pink body with a good looking top. Nose is maraschino cherries and faint hints of biscuit malts. Taste is meh. Fake cherry taste. Like Farmers Blonde with added syrup.

Handpull cask at the Geldart, Cambridge. Straw, clear, very little head but lots of lacing. Light floral aroma overlaid with white grape and lemonade notes. Bittersweet taste with a malty backbone. Odd, almost savoury note in the finish with sweaty and metallic notes in the finish. There are good moments but it doesn’t hang together nearly as well as I’d like.

Black color with a off white head. Some lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium (-) body and a soft carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Semi dry ending. Dark malt, roast and cold coffee in the flavor. Decent easy drinkable stout.
