The award-winning Salamander beers was founded in 1999. Dr Daniel Gent (a doctor of brewing and one of Salamander's founders) mission was to bring high quality independently brewed beer to the masses. To this day Salamander continues to surprise and delight its many customers.

And we haven’t lost our touch for beer either.

Brewing ceased in early 2019 and restarted in late Summer 2021.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark gold, clear with a bit of loose white head and some lacing. Grassy aroma with light notes of lemon curd. Taste is nicely balanced, a trifle sweet at first but then weighed down with a hoppy bitterness. It's a fairly standard golden, but it's a well-made one.
