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 (@The Flower Pot, Maidstone, Kent): deep ruby-amber coloured, presumably clear, small tanned head with a little lace, leathery-malty nose with dried blackberries in the background; mild but distinctive bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; really lingering dryish (with a shy acidity) maltbitter and ashy finish, some dried fruits included. Fine Ale, but I thought it is a Stout…
