Description
Founded in June 1999, in Milton, a village on the outskirts of Cambridge. In July 2012, Milton Brewery moved premises to the neighbouring village of Waterbeach, securing the future of the brewery, providing much needed expansion and allowing for further growth.
The Milton brewery is a traditional English Ale brewery, albeit lurking in the cunning disguise of a 1980s industrial unit. We take the finest English Maris Otter malted barley, high quality whole hops and local brewing water to produce our award-winning ales.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Amber, clear with a very loose off-white head. Fresh hoppy aroma: grassy, vinous and sharp. Bitter taste but there’s a tongue-coating maltiness as well. Body is thin for the ABV but it doesn’t detract from the experience. Tangerine and quince in the aftertaste. The more I drink this, the more I like it. Superb.

Keying at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Very dark brown with a ring of tan head. Coffee and vanilla aroma: it smells like it’s going to be too sweet. It is, but the sweetness is tempered a bit by some light bitterness in the finish. Eggy vanilla and mochaccino in the aftertaste. Pretty good but a bit too affected.

Handpull cask at the Haymakers, Cambridge. Mid- to dark gold, with a big white head that quickly dissipates. Country garden and orange peel aroma. Sweet taste which has a slight citrus astringency in the medium to long finish. Thick oily body. You can taste the premium strength, and it gives the beer a bit of bravado. So... not Milton’s most interesting recipe but certainly worth a try.

Handpull cask at the Queen Edith, Cambridge. Deep gold and clear with very little head. Quite flat. Malt, orange peel, limeade and sage in the aroma. Taste is quite bitter - acrid actually - and continues to jar going down. Long medicinal aftertaste. Not really sure why it’s the way it is, if it’s just me or if it really is this tough going. It seems like there’s a good beer in here but the balance is just too messy for me.
