Description
Welbeck is one of the great traditional landed estates bordering Sherwood Forest. It is home to an artisan village, producing specialist foods and crafts in a beautiful rural setting.

General Manager and brewer, Claire Monk, established our microbrewery in 2011. It’s housed in a beautiful listed barn at the heart of this community, and has steadily grown in size to meet the demand for good local beer. We also have some fabulous neighbours in adjacent barns, including a coffee roaster, chocolatier and bakery. All our products can be found at the Welbeck Farm shop in the Welbeck Courtyard.

The two guiding principles which underpin our brewery are to produce the best quality beer in the market, and provide our customers with exemplary service every time. Our head brewer, James, brews 15,000 pints a week which we supply into pubs, restaurants and specialist bottle beer shops within a 35 mile radius.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours s golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Somewhat lacing in the aroma department – I couldn’t really detect any ! Has a creamy texture with floral hops and some citrus. To be honest I didn’t realise it was supposed to be a lager. Pretty forgettable really.

Handpull cask at the Exeter Arms, Derby. Light gold, almost straw. Very little aroma, some corn syrup, some hay. Sweet taste with a massive versatile note. Some bitterness in the finish. Syrupy body, almost no carbonation. Shameful.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Has an indistinct aroma of malts and caramel. Pours a rich reddish brown with a msall cream head and good lacing. In the mouth the texture is creamy and the taste has fruitcake, bread crusts and malts on a base of caramel. A bit of bitterness in the finish is the first (only) hint of hops. Overall tastewise it punches above its strength. I rather like this, but I would say it’s more of an Irish red ale than a traditional bitter.
