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.

Gravity cask at the Tap East Open Brewhouse Fest 2014 - London. Pours deep brown with a wimpy off-white head. The nose has some chocolate and light roast. Medium sweet flavor with some burnt meat, earth, tangy berries and cocoa. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish with more sweet cocoa, toasted bread, mellow bitter earth, some milk chocolate. Not bad overall.

Bottle shared at chriso’s during Garvie’s visit - London. A little gusher! Pours hazy gold with a big, foamy white head. Citrusy hops in the aroma, some pine needles, lemon, pale wood. Light-medium sweet with pithy citrus, lemon in particular, with more dry woody aspects. Light in body with average carbonation. Nicely balanced to finish with moderate bitter lemon rind, mellow pine. Not bad.
