Description
Arkell’s Brewery was established in 1843 by John Arkell and 175 years later, is one of less than thirty family breweries remaining in the UK. As Swindon’s oldest business, Arkell’s has kept its founding values alive and continues to produce local beer for local customers. These values have been continued by the four family members in charge today; Chairman James Arkell, his cousin Nick Arkell, Head of Sales, and James’ sons George Arkell, and Alex Arkell are Managing Director and Head Brewer respectively.

9th Oct 2019. Cask pint in The Thomas Botfield (Telford Town Centre), on the first day of the Wetherspoon's Autumn Beer Festival. Looked good, hand-pulled into a UK pint straight glass. The body is bronze/chestnut brown, clear and clean; on top an off-white crown. Classic British Bitter aroma and taste; Malty front to the nose and taste, creeping hop bitterness gives balance. Proper 'old school' bitter.
