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.

Bottle. Welbeck Farm Shop. Best sausages ever. Black in the glass. Messy leggy beige foam. Mentions molasses have been added to this. Well, they’re not kidding. There’s some vine fruit and roast malt but mostly it’s a mess of sticky smoky ashtray molasses nonsense. Jesus how much went in? Can’t be arsed. Hard work.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a tight white head; malty aroma with a little citrus; sharp citrus taste to start, then some grapefruit; and a crisp bitter finish. Refreshing.
