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.

Taste comprises light citrus, grass, bread dough, pale malt, cereal. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Medicority in a glass, bland and dull, akin to a pale lager!

Cask @ Hop & Vine, Hull. Yellow gold. Clear with a decent showing of a white head. Very faint aroma. A bit of lemon, spruce, soap. Taste is ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Sweet at first rounding to a bitter finish with a hint of sour. As boring pale beers go, this is at least clean and refreshing.
