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 @ Puzzle Hall Inn, Sowerby Bridge. Clear magenta-purple with a creamy head. It’s not a conventional looking ale but tastes like one with a mix of hops and winter warmer malts.

Bottle. Deep, cherry red in colour, with no head but lively carbonation. Dense, slightly sweet, berry aroma. Easy drinking, with plenty more fruit, leading to a gentle finish. Ok.

Half-pint, cask in the Spa Lane Vaults, a Wetherspoons in Chesterfield on 20th Nov 2014. Blue hue to the creamy light purple head on a blueberry and raspberry, purple coloured body. Hedgerow berries in the aroma and taste. Strange looking and strange in nature: I liked it. No idea where the name comes from or the Belgian connection, there is a blueness to the brew though.
