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.

Medium light beige fine-laced lasting head. Hazy opaque dark orange body with yeast particles in the bottom of the glass. Acidic caramelly, citrusy, hoppy aroma with strong strawberry-like notes. Intensely infected brett taste drowns out all else. Yuck! Need to rerate. (0.5l bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger.)
