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.

Cask at the St Radegund, Cambridge on 3rd June 2011. Clear gold with thin lacing head of white foam. Rich hoppy aroma, then a delightful liquid of fruity and grassy hoppiness, citrus notes and a fruity finish on an engaging mouthfeel.

Cask, handpump at The Cambridge Blue, Cambridge, 03.06.11 Pours warm gold with a nice slim white head. The bitterness builds at the back of the mouth and lingers for some time. Some sweet malts show and balance things out. Touch boozy at first but then starts to drink a little easier than you might expect. Nice stuff. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

[Gravity cask at Chippenham Beer Festival] Brown with a negligible head & a light sparkle. A bit roasty, a bit malty, a bit chewy, a bit of port, a bit of gravy. Definitely dry though. OK.
