Description
We are an independent craft producer of cask and bottle-conditioned beers. Brewing behind the legendary & historic pub, The Talbot at Knightwick in Worcestershire.
The brewery was first opened in 1997 by the Clift family. Annie and Wiz Clift ran The Talbot at Knightwick, Worcestershire while their brother Philip ran the family farm at Lulsley Court nearby. The Clifts had been growing hops since the 19th century and a logical progression of the farm and pub businesses was to brew beer from their own hops to sell in their own pub. In August 1997 the brewery equipment was installed behind the pub and in September 1997 Chris Gooch joined as brewer.

Cask at Charlie’s, Copenhagen
Dark mahogany color, creamy head. Simple aroma, maybe the flavor is a bit better, but still not too complex, just some caramel. Drinkable.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar in Copenhagen. A nutty brown beer with a thin brown head. The flavor is sweet with nutty notes as well as citrusy hoppy notes. The flavor is sweet with notes of nuts, caramel, fruit, fruity esters, as well as a light touch of diacethyl and cinnamon, leading to a dry slighlty bitter and citrusy finish. More like a good bodied brown ale, than a porter.

From cask at Charlies. Pours light orange and clear with a lacing white head. Aroma is slight spiced and mellow herbal. Quite subdued fruity note, dominated by bitterhops. Has a nice fruity tone with no sweetness but a lot of bitterness lingering into the far finish. Quite dry.
