About
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.

Cask at Thomas Leaper, Derby. Pours a murky very dark brown with minimal off-white head but good lacing. There’s plenty of dark fruits in the aroma, but the first impression in the mouth is of how watery it is. Some dark fruits and toffeee though, and traditional hops come along later with traces of grains as well. Finish is quite fruity. This is OK, but may need a rerate as it was served rather on the cold side.
