Description
Tatton Brewery is a family-run brewery in Knutsford in the heart of Cheshire, just a stone’s throw from Tatton Park.

We brew both classic and contemporary style beers in a modern brewery, and our beers are available in cask, keg and bottle in pubs, bars, restaurants and other venues across the North West.

We have a custom built modern brewery, and have combined this with a traditional local yeast (revived after 50 years retirement), the finest ingredients and years of experience creating internationally renowned beers, to brew what we believe to be Cheshire’s finest beers.

Our brewery has been specifically designed to enable us to brew consistently good beer, we believe each and every pint we sell needs to be as good as the last one. We like to think this is what sets up apart from other small brewers, and hope that you will appreciate our efforts.

Hand-pulled half-pint from Crewe Dog on Saturday 18th November 2023. First beer of the day and before the Latvian Day tasting with Martin. Old gold in colour, white head that hung around. Malty front and semi-sweet throughout, minimal hop action; liked it.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy deep gold with a small white head and good lacing. There’s fresh hops and pine in the aroma. In the mouth its very briefly sweet at the start before bitterness of hops kicks in. Oranges also in the flavour and later some generic citrus and underlying traces of biscuits, leading to a dry finish. This is reasonable, but pretty forgettable too.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has a creamy edge to it, with lactose, nougat and malts. In the mouth, the uppermost flavour is marshmallows, but there is an underlying bitterness to which it is somewhat at odds. There’s malts, nuts, parkin, biscuits raisins and a hint of liquorice. Finish is somewhat sticky. Bit of a mess really.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. There’s some malts in the aroma – but not much else. Pours an almost murky golden brown with minimal off-white head and excellent lacing. In the mouth there’s a mix of orange peel, grains and werthers original sweets, plus some traces of indistinct hops. Later on there are hints of ginger and spices too. Finish is bitter sweet. This is OK, but a nothing beer really.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a pale straw with minimal white head and excellent lacing. Not much of an aroma – just vague citrus hints. In the mouth it starts off sweet and malty but some bitterness soon starts to show. Flavour of floral hops with traces of grains and citrus. Bitterness remains in the finish. This is OK, but it’s nothing special.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has oranges and caraway. In the mouth it is very briefly sweet and creamy before becoming rough and grainy with flavours of rye, caraway, marmalade and hints of berry fruits and corn. Finish is quite bitter. This is rather unusual – but decent enough.
