Description
Quantock Brewery was set up in December 2007 in Wellington Somerset. However it was born out of the love of brewing by our head brewer Rob Rainey. Rob purchased his first home brew kit from Boots but when this didn’t produce the quality of beer he wanted, Rob, a former nuclear engineer, built his own kit from scratch, and the rest is history.

Rob’s philosophy was to brew the highest quality ales using the best natural ingredients. He wanted all the beers to be brewed entirely from the highest quality grain and whole hop cones, the only other ingredients being yeast and water. No chemicals or sugar are added to the beers to ensure flavour is pure. Rob stives to produce quality beers that have flavour and character, far different from the mass-produced beers traditional found in pubs across the UK.

Our brew house is an 8-barrel size with 8 fermenters allowing us to produce 5 brews per week and over 2300 pints per brew. Currently we can produce over 160 casks or 11500 bottles per week. Recently the brew house has started producing kegged beer supplying over 40 key kegs a week. Our brewhouse also features our new HOPGUN. This exciting piece of kit replaces the traditional dry hop brewing process and allows our brewing team to infuse a more intense level of flavour and aroma directly into our new craft beers.

In an industry of endless possibilities, we will always continue to explore new ideas and add to our ever-growing range of beers crafted in the heart of Somerset.

Pours a very hazy orange colour with a thick white head. The taste has a lot of tropical fruit flavours - muscat grates, melon, lychee and notes of citrus. Good malt flavour with notes of wheat. Excellent mouthfeel. A really nice NEIPA.

Can at Prince Arthur., Fleet. Hazy-opaque gold. Massive foamy white head. Aroma has very sweet citrus with underlying malta and some spice. Flavourwise it's similar. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Not keen it's just way too amped up fizzy citrus.
