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.

A beer name that exemplifies many job applications before you can even apply properly! My application for this hazy golden beer was accepted first time. Much pine in aroma is less stated in taste, but still dominant, but with a notable creaminess attached here, which appeals as it gives the brew a smoothish and nice mouthfeel. Cold and crisp from cellar.
