Description
The Brewery of Saint Mars of the Desert was inspired by the earliest “craft breweries” of Europe: that first generation making beers in disused 19th century breweries with a pioneering spirit, unmoving passion and an almost avant-garde creativity. We relocated from America to the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire to make this dream a reality and haven’t looked back.

As a very small two-and-a-half person brewery, making world class beers and sharing them fresh with the public is about all we have time for. But who needs more than that?

Can picked up at the brewery. Deep chestnut brown. Decent off white foam stays the course. Nose has light chocolate light roast malt. Fairly vinous. Bit of a twang. Taste is semi sweet to start with a moderate dryness. Feels light bodied overall given the ABV. Dry fruity tangy vinous finish.
