Description
In the quaint little village of Cromwell, in the heart of Nottinghamshire nestles our modest brewery. Run by husband and wife duo, Ken and Fran Munro, true connoisseurs in craft ale with a motto for quality over quantity, we brew the finest, most flavoursome ales every time. We keep our base recipe simple using the four traditional ingredients hops, malt, wheat and water and have won numerous awards since opening our doors in 2004.

We supply cask and bottled beers to pubs, farm shops and breweries up and down the country. Brewing 5 days a week, we have a varied selection of ales, whether it’s a blonde you prefer, citrussy pale ales, red or amber bitters right through to porters and stouts we have something for everyone.

31/5/2024. From cask at the 37th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival. Pours clear dark gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet peach, with a touch of malt and caramel. Quite sweet with light to moderate developing bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery, soft carbonation. Very peachy, quite one dimensional, more than a splash of each in this I'd say but it's okay.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a cloudy apricot with a small almost white head and good lacing. There’s malts and tropical fruits in the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly sweet and juicy with flavours of tropical fruits, floral hops, citrus and melon. Hints of apricot and kiwi as well, leading to bitter and slightly sticky finish. It’s reasonable I suppose.
