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.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern, Hackney, during the February Festival 2011. Pours Pours clear brown with a small, foamy off-white head. Woody nose with hints of ripe fruit. Plenty of nutty notes in the flavour, with more wood, nips of brown sugar. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Toasty malt finish, lightly drying, more nuts. Not quite sweet enough in terms of balance. Decent overall.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern, Hackney, during the February Festival 2011. Pours rich, clear gold with a foamy white head. Basic pale malt nose, not much else. Don't get much in the way of spice or lemon in the flavour, some muddled malts is all. Light bodied with fine carbonation. A bit of odd spice in the finish, sugar and bread. Faintly dry with low bitterness. Ho hum.
