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.

Can from the brewery online and drunk at home. Hazy pale russet colour lasting beige head. A bit odd. Sweet. toffee. Very hoppy and bitter on the finish. Some citrus fruits. Some sharpness some wild fruits. Interesting. Not sure I would drink it again but interesting in a wild sour sweet way. normally I would say this was off. it is sour like a unblended lambic.

Can from the brewery online and drunk at home. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Pink grapefruit American hop aroma. A little piney. A decent apa. Some bitterness on the finish. a little light in malt backbone. hops are fine but maybe a little harsh on the finish. very drying in mouth. fully attenuated. perhaps needs a little more residual sweetness to have good drinkability.
