Description
Dorset Brewing Company was founded in 1996, when Giles Smeath restored an 800-year-old brewing tradition to the Dorset port of Weymouth in the heart of the World Heritage Coastline (the Jurassic Coast).

Set in the beautiful, historic county of Dorset, this well-loved and respected family brewery has grown in size and stature. From its humble beginnings at the historic Devenish & Groves site in Weymouth, Dorset Brewing Company (aka DBC) relocated in 2011 to Crossways and upgraded to a state-of-the-art spring water-fed brewhouse (The Jurassic Brewhouse), capable of crafting 1.5 million pints a year.

DBC strives to produce an individual product representing the very best of Dorset, leading the way with our popular Jurassic Coast brands. The involvement and support of the family ensures the emphasis is always on quality ales and excellent personal customer care.

500ml bottle from Centra Colosseum in Oslo. Slightly hazy, golden body with some white floaters on the top. Dry aroma of hay and fruit-like malts. The taste profile is grainy with bready malts and late arriving grassy hops. Dry, summer feeling. A bit feeble mouthfeel [at home, 18.12.2008].

Bottle picked up at Wareham off licence, Wareham, Dorset, 30-08-08 and consumed later that evening. Pours gold with white head, refreshing beer with a nice bitter bite, Craigโ€™s description is spot on, so read that for more detail Iโ€™m being lazy as my notes were flimsy for this one in the fading light last night.

Bottle picked up at Wareham off licence, Wareham, Dorset, 30-08-08 and consumed later that evening. Pours copper in colour with a white head, touch on the med-high carbonation side. Bitter sweet at the front of the mouth with a nice fruity tang and a furry dryness.Iโ€™m really enjoying my bitters at the moment and whilst this isnโ€™t amongst the best its still very nice.
