Description
We’ve lived, breathed and brewed beer since 1995 when our founder Colin Brown established Belvoir Brewery.
Brewing started in June 1995 based at 6b Woodhill Industries, Nottingham Lane, Old Dalby. The plant is a collection of redundant equipment from other breweries. Moved at the end of November 2007 to their current location at the same time upgrading to a 20BBL plant.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up long ago, and I don't recall where. BBE September 2014. Pours clear copper-ruby with a fading, foamy khaki head. Not bad, moderate oxidation, decent sweetness, toasted malts, a bit of toffee, lightly tangy berries, British yeast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with lots of brown bread, toasted caramel, a little earth, more ripe berries. Pretty enjoyable overall.
