Description
Independent Brewery producing a wide range of Cask, Keg, Bottled and Canned beers. Products available direct from the on-site shop and tours are available about twice a month. Most beers are now gluten free.

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.

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.
