Description
Dunham Massey Brewing Company is a small family run craft brewery located on National Trust land in the town of Dunham Massey brewing multi-award winning traditional North Western style real ale. It was in late 2006 when head brewer John Costello decided that he would go ahead and start up a brewery of his own.

After making various enquiries about vacant premises on which to set up the brewery, the National Trust suggested the use of a dis-used barn, located behind Big Tree Farm in Dunham Massey. John officially took over the premises on 1st August 2007, and along with the help of the National Trust, and a few family members, set about the daunting task of converting the barn into a brewery. It was hard work but as you can see, he got the job done.

What's special about Dunham Massey beer is that it is as traditional as you can get. All the ingredients are English and are sourced from as local as possible. In fact the only things that go into the beer are water, malts, hops, and yeast. All the sugars are formed the old fashioned way by extracting them from the malt itself. Our philosophy is to use the best English malts and hops, with no added sugars, to brew quality traditional North Western beers.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours cloudy dark red-brown with a thick beige head. The nose is soft, sweet cherry, candy, fruit cake, light spice, bakewell tart and plum. The taste is smooth, toasty, earthy, wood, earthy roast, leather, cocoa, sweet cherry and bakewell tart with a short, dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. A touch sweet. Simple stuff. So - so.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, thin white head. Light palate, decent fine carbonation. Nice condition. Light malts, fairly neutral. Nice lemony grapefruit vibe here, flavoursome and not that bitter. Mild florlaness. Light finish. Nice.
