Description

Following in the footsteps of thousands of women who have brewed through the millennia, Sara Barton founded Brewster’s Brewing Company and the first beers flowed in 1998.

Over eons and through civilisations, women had brewed beer as naturally as they baked and nurtured their families. In recent centuries though, a woman’s role within the brewing craft had changed. Old fashioned societal norms and industrialisation had turned women away from being the natural brewers of beer. In modern times things have been changing and thankfully the world is different now; the new age of the Brewster is dawning.

After equipping herself with a Masters degree in Brewing and Distilling from Heriot Watt in 1989, Sara was to join the tiny band of female pioneers working in the brewing world and then in time she took the step to lead her own brewing company.

Sara took the name Brewsters for the brewery as it was an old English word for a female brewer. In the mid nineteen nineties when Brewster’s brewery was started it was a term seldom used or even understood.

Brewster’s brewery is now a 32 hectolitre (or 20bbl if you are old school) single infusion brewhouse located in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Cask conditioned ales predominate but brewery conditioning is developing to be an important element for the brewery and allows other beer styles such as kegged beers and canned small pack to develop. The small batch size gives scope for great variety in styles.

Cask @ The Abbey, Shrewsbury. Generally clear gold pour, perhaps a light mist, good white head. Fresh blond character with a grapefruit hop bitterness, soft floral citrus with a nice light sparkle to it too. Decent stuff.

Nice looking hazed orange gold with a frothy white head and a citrus fruit (seville orange?) and subtle pine aroma. Light to medium bodied, a little over-carbonated, but a lovely balance of citrus fruit and light malt with a soft piney bitterness

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 15/10/22. Deep amber in colour with a slight head. Sweetish, caramel and red fruit aroma, with some leafy hops. Flavour of caramel with ripe, biscuity, malts leading to a slightly bitter finish. Ok.

Half-pint, cask ale at Barrel Vaults (JDW). Misty golden-brown body, a bubbly ring to the rim of the glass, clingy lacing. Moments of biscuit and caramel on the nose. Dark doughy flavoured joined by caramel, dried fruits, and lightly spiced. Bittersweet twist to the ending. Medium bodied. Nice. (St Pancras, London 04.11.2022).
