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.

The walk back from the 2025 Camra Winter Beer Festival provided a good example of the steel industry still left in this part of South Yorkshire, at the station in the adjacent shopping centre a steel industry named Wetherspoon with this session hopped brew available. Good looking and easy.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of raspberry jam, raspberry yoghurt biscuits and wheat. Taste is full of raspberries that linger in the aftertaste. Quite watery and not a lot else to it.
