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 handpull at The County Hotel JDW Ashford Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Some pine some resin very light though. Hides abv well by not really doing anything. Light hop sting on the finish. A bit meh. Nothing wrong just not a whole load of right either.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a tight white head; barley sugar aroma; chewy grainy body; then a sweet finish countered by some traditional hops. Enjoyable.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a medium-sized foamy off-white head. Malts are prominent in the aroma, along with hints of bread rolls and pineapple. In the mouth it is sweet and watery but with slight underlying bitterness. Muted flavours of citrus and tropical fruits, with some fruity hops coming along later. This is reasonable enough, but somewhat band and boring.
