About
Beers are a beautiful thing and we’re very proud of ours here at Empire Brewing. An established micro-brewery situated amongst the rolling Yorkshire hills of Slaithwaite, we’ve been producing fine artisan ales for over a decade.

From a humble garage-based micro-brewery to the slick operation you see today at our boiler house by the canal, our beers – and the way we do things – have come a long way. But our values remain exactly the same: to produce creative and dynamic artisan brewing you’ll love.

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common. An opaque ruby red colour with a thin beige head; earthy toffee aroma; rather thin with a nutty caramel taste; then some coffee grounds in the finish. A proper old-fashioned mild.

Half-pint, cask at Imperial Tavern. Next to clear golden body, dotted spots on the glass, bubbly ring to the rim of the surface. Ripe fruity nose. Lemony and salad hops to the taste profile, added by grainy malt. Distant fruit bitter ending. Average. (Worcester 06.07.2018).
