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.

Very light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and crisp. Minerals. Smooth light pale malt. Super light actually. Semi sweet pine hops with a whisper of limey citrus. Finishes smooth and then a final minerally crisp bite. Light and slightly ethereal but smooth easy and drinking.

Cask at Cross Daggers, Coal Aston - Deep ruby red body, near purple, blue tinged white head. Forget the novelty with this, it is probably one of Bradfield’s best offerings, nice and fruity with a rich dark fruit finish that has loads of berries in the nose, taste and ending.
