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.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Dark brown-black pour with pretty much no head. Lots of tobacco and mild roasted malts in the aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet with distinctly hard, mineral malts, charcoal and dry, woody roast. Medium in body with soft carbonation. Some slight sugars in the finish with lingering ashes and tobacco. Pretty nice beer.

Deep mahogany coloured body under a rather dense, light brownish head. Aroma of earthy, dark malts and dark fruits. Notes of resinous hops to the taste buds added by caramel malts. Jam-like impression offset by lingering bitterness to the aftertaste. Smooth palate. Medium bodied. Cask, half at Bankers Draft, Sheffield 1 Oct 10.

(Cask at Strangers’ Bar, The Houses of Parliament, London) Beer was really pale. Aroma was fruity and mild. Based on the aroma I had no high hopes for the taste but luckily I was wrong. Taste was quite pleasant and not only one dimensional. The flavours were hops, mild sweetness, fruitiness and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter.
