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.

750ml waxed job. Holy shit. Picked up at the brewery by Lucky Otter, aka my mate Mark, who I work with and is almost definitely Bradfield’s number 1 fan. Each to their own but I can’t fucking stand the stuff ordinarily. Anyhoo, that’s me wrong because this is good gear. Slick and tasty. Nice barrel character is restrained. Easy drinking. Yeah. That’s me told.
