Description
Shane Swindells began Cheshire Brewhouse in 2012, but has been passionate about beer and the joyful sociability of pubs from an early age — ‘beer was special, it was the stitches that held the fabric of society together’. Home is the historic town of Congleton, where it is based on a small industrial estate in the Dane Valley, close to the greenness of Congleton Park. Using bespoke-made brewing kit that makes 2880 pints per brew, Swindells produces an award-winning and vegan-friendly range of beers that can be enjoyed in cask, keg, bottle and can. As well as its historic recipes, Cheshire Brewhouse produces a superb range of modern craft beers that resonate with the bright colours and tropical fruit aromas of American hops such as Citra and Amarillo as well as English varieties such as East Kent Goldings.

Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas / post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Many thanks to Andy for donating this one to the cause! Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Pale bread in the aroma, hints of orange, grains. Light to medium sweet flavor with sugary malt character, white grape, berries, bread, light toffee. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sugary finish with notes of caramel, bread, flowers and ripe orange. Not bad overall.

Bottle shared on the inaugural London Bimble. I think I picked up this beer in Liverpool. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Light citrus character, faint rindy bitterness, hay, pale bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Moderate grainy bitterness on the finish, some grass, dried pale bread, citrus rind. A good hoppy gold.
