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.

[i] Handpump at The Good Food Show, 01-12-07 [/i] This tasted exactly like the other Christmas related Milestone beer that I’d just tried, i.e. not great reddy brown bit murky, bit sour, bit unimpressive once again.

[i] Bottle from the Dodgi’ Deli, Cowley Road, 29-11-07 [/i] Poured very hazy amber colour, taste was quite citric almost sourish, some lemon, less than impressive but for some reason I perservered, bit yeasty not great, not convinced that this transfers to bottle very well at all.
