Description
Shiny was established in 2012, as a small scale operation, brewing in Derby mainly for its brew pub. Now based in the beautiful village of Little Eaton, just outside of Derby. The brewery is based in the centre of the village and has a taproom which features all Shiny’s new beers and one off pilots. Our beer story began with untraditional highly hopped cask beer and now has evolved into brewing a range of cask, keg and cans, the ethos is still the same brew beers we love to drink which means lots of hops! All beers are unfined and a good number of our core range is certified Gluten Free.

Keg draught at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Dark brown, fairly opaque with a large creamy khaki head. Big aroma of caramel chocolate brownie, lovely but just a little metallic.bettwr taste, its sweet with more caramel chocolate and a little touch of dark berry to imbue some bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. It's quite good but not one of Shiny's amazeballs brews.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby. Pours almost black with a small foamy beige head. Roasted malts to the fore in the aroma, plus some hints of vanilla. In the mouth it is quite sweet with flavours of roast malts and dark fruits plus a hint of alcoholic strength. Some traces of coffee and chocolate come through later. A little bitterness in the finish. This is quite decent though a bit pedestrian.
