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.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pourish a pretty dark reddish brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts and berries in the nose, but only a lsight aroma overall. Dark fruit and malts are the main sensations in the mouth, but there are also flavours of humbug sweets, traditional hops and traces of spices. Quite sweet overall though. Nice and very drinkable for it’s strength.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours lemon gold with a small white head and good lacing. Some grapefruit in the aroma, but not much else. In the mouth, there is a real sharpness when it first hits the tastebuds. That soon wears off though, and lemon, grapefruit and melon can be distinguished, on a caramel base. Finish is bitter and lemon. Reasonable, but a bit too much citrus for me.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours golden brown with a small white head and good lacing. Malts and nuts in the aroma. Fruitiness to tore in the mouth, with apples and malts on a caramel base. Later on there are hints of spices too. Finish is slightly dry. A reasonable beer, but Tatton have made better ones.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark reddish brown with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The nose is vaguely fruity, but dark fruits come much more to the front in the mouth. There’s some sweetness and roast malts plus traces of chocolate. Finish is sweet and fruity. Nice enough, but not overly exciting – just a decent porter.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has ripe orchard fruits. In the mouth, floral hops vie with malts for supremacy. Underneath the flavours of apples, spices and cloves can be detected. Finish is fruity and slightly bitter. This certainly packs a punch of flavour for its strength – very nice.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark chestnut with minimal cream head and good lacing. Malts, nuts and spices in the aroma. Mouthfeel has toffee, molasses, roast malts, and sices with traces of parkin and raisins. Finish is somewhat spicy. Reasonable enough, but a beer for sipping in small doses.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark chestnut brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts and spices in the aroma, but not over strong. In the mouth there’s an initial dry hoppiness which is quite offputting. Once this wears off, the main flavours are pumpkin and spices (cinnamon and cloves to the fore) over a caramel base. Finish is very dry and spicy. Not at all bad, but an acquired taste.

500ml bottle from Booths (Knutsford): BB February 2022. Drank at home on 1st October 2021. Clear and clean bright bronze body, not much of a head. Fruity and malty in nature, nice honest English Bitter with no citrus hops involved.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small scummy white head. Malts and a hint of oranges in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet though a tad watery. Tangerines are to the fore in the flavour, but there is an underlying sharpness with hints of ginger. Some grains and corn come through later on, and the finish is slightly spicy. Reasonable enough, but doesn’t really have any wheat beer characteristics.
