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 Nag’s Head, Reading] Pours amber with a small white head. Lots of floral hops, developing into an earthy bitterness. Refrshing and more-ish - and got better the more I drank. Good stuff, I enjoyed this (seems I’m the only one here who did though!). Based on appearance and flavour, I would suggest it’s more of a bitter than a golden ale.

Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London
Golden color, thin head. Average simple Ale, just a notch above, say, Boddington’s (and because it doesn’t have the widget). Boring.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a hazy and opaque orangey brown with a dense, off-white head. Aroma of wood, dried fruit and a whiff of Brett. Medium body with dried fruit and again pleasant Brett notes. Quite lovely really although I’m not sure that those Brett accents were intended. 230808
