Description
We started Braybrooke in 2017 with just one aim - to make really good lager. Beer doesn’t have to be complicated as long as it’s made in the right way with a commitment to quality. That’s exactly what we’re doing, brewing proper lager in the heart of the English countryside, near Market Harborough.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Premier Hop. Pours just slightly fuzzy yellow with a creamy, white topping. Lightly sweet with notes of sun-kissed pale grains, nips of grass, straw, dry biscuits. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, more subtle grassy bitterness, dry pale bread, biscuits, husky grain. Enjoyable. It grew on me.

Bottle online from the brewery. Pours very lightly hazed golden with a white top. Aroma: sweet malts, meadow flowers, hay. Taste: moderate sweet & light bitter, dry, bread, hay but the most prominent flavour is flowers which completely take over. Light body with low-ish carbonation. I'm not sure the woodruff was a good idea in this beer, it's marmite at best. Really odd beer, but props for the experimentation.
