Established in 2011
From modest origins in July 2011, which saw Nene Valley Brewery operating with just a two-and-a-half-barrel facility, the company moved into its new riverside premises at the end of that year and now operates a 15-barrel installation. Brewing is undertaken once a week with a range of products distributed to local pubs, wholesalers and direct to the public.

Draught, 1/3 pint at Pint Shop Cambridge. Shared with Finn. White head, clear golden body, fair lacing. Moderate smell of grain and dusty hops. Taste of noble hops and a bite of cereal malts. Mid-dry, malt-fruity finish. Fair enough. (Cambridge 14.11.2021).

Cask, half pint at Plasterers Arms, shared with Finn. Stable beige head leaving scattered lacing on the glass. Almost black body. Roasted malty nose, doughy. Malt-forward taste profile of earth and grain, added by a touch of chocolate. Mid-sweet, roasted finish. Pretty good. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

Half-pint, cask at Plasterers Arms, shared with Finn. Patchy white head, clear golden body, clingy lacing. Moderate smell of dusty hops and grain. Mixed malt-fruity flavours, oily hops, grain, and a biscuit vibe. Modest bitter fruity end. Easy to drink. Satisfying. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Cambridge Wines. Pours clear copper-gold with a frothy, off-white head. Lovely toasted grain character, modest sweetness, some leafy and grassy hops, subtle English yeast, earth, dry biscuits. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Impressively moreish, with soft caramel accents, more sturdy grassy-leafy bitterness, toasted bread and grains. A solid, by-the-book bitter.
