Description
Grafton Brewing Company is named after the Grafton Hotel on Gateford Road in Worksop. The Grafton was built in 1865 by a gentleman called Joseph Gardside. Joseph Garside was one of the founders of Worksop and Retford Brewery.
The multi award winning micro brewery, Grafton Fine Ales was founded, formerley known as Grafton Brewing Company in 2007. The first brewing premises were behind the Packet Inn on Bescoby Street in Retford, Nottinghamshire. We acquired our brand new premises in May 2014 back in Worksop after we outgrow our previous premises. Which also saw us increase our plant size from a 5 barrel plant to a 15 barrel plant for us to keep up with demand.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A pale amber pour with a loose white head; muted apricot aroma; dry in the mouth with an apricot kernel taste; and a rataher bready finish. Rather on the dry side.

Cask at the West Quay (JDW), Brighton Marina, 19/08/17. Clear golden with a decent white head. Nose is light citric peel, toasted bread, grains, light apricot jam. Taste comprises a stronger apricot flavour than the nose suggested, straw, light citric peel, bready tones, light biscuit crum. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Ok stuff ... geys the apricot message across some. Would have added this as a fruit beer I reckon.

Pint at Bon Accord. Black beer with a bubbly brown head. Aroma is malty chocolate. Taste is as you’d expect, though the mint isn’t sickly-sweet or overpowering. It’s a standard chocolatey stout with the mint adding a little something extra and not leaving a claggy aftertaste / mouthfeel.
