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 Queen Hotel (JDW), Aldershot. A deep reddish chestnut pour with a tight beige head; aroma of red fruit; thick smooth malty body with a plum taste and some chocolate malts; then a drier finish with some toast and jam. Rather good.

Cask half-pint: hand-pulled in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire on 25th Oct 2016. Slight haze to the light golden body, creamy textured white crown on top. Hop centric with a bitter overtone; refreshing and tasty: liked it.

Handpull cask from the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Light gold, clear with a tiny bit of white head. Quite a bit of lacing. A small bit of malty, grassy aroma. Taste is sweet, almost a bit lagery underpinned by a grainy caramelly malt. Touch of golden syrup in the finish. A lingering hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Fairly standard stuff and while it does have some really nice points, there’s nothing to tempt me to come back for another pint.
