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.

Handpull cask at the Queen Edith, Cambridge. Dark gold and very clear. Spotty head, just off-white, leaves lots of lacing. Light honey and herbal aroma, pleasant but nondescript. Tastes very nice actually: an initial sweet taste shot through with floral and honey flavours gets quickly usurped by a spicy hop bitterness, which leads the beer to a long bitter finish. More orange blossom honey and cooking herbs in the aftertaste. Simple but well-executed.
