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, Leicester city centre. Light yellow gold, hazy as all get out with a quickly dissipating fluffy white head. Big aroma, maltbled with a biscuity character, grassy hop, dank tropical and citrus fruits, a little bit of spring onion. Sweet, hoppy taste, with unwieldy citrus and pineapple character. Thick body and soft carbonation. Shiny so often get these right but this one is short of their usual mark.

Can picked up from Shiny brewery two weeks ago and consumed at home Tuesday 17th December 2024 listening to ByteFM and cooking Mushroom Stroganoff. Pours murky milky yellow with a large white head. Thick mouthfeel, juicy and creamy mouthfeel. There is a little dusty hop, but otherwise it's a nice Riwaka and Citra combination with light citrus and a little tropicana.

Can picked up from Shiny Brewery Tap, Little Eaton, Derbyshire, Tuesday 3rd December 2024 had this at Dad's in the company of Dad and Pauline. Pours milky yellow with a sticky white white head. The description suggests tropical fruit with hints of spearmint and lime but not sure I am totally picking that up, but there is a cleanness and it's very interesting, smooth. Nice.
