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.

Hand-pulled pint at The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 18th September 2021. Mini haze to the golden body, neat thin white head. Mild citrus leanings in both the aroma and fairly weak body, didn't think this had much oomph about it. I know it's only 3.6%, but I found it rather bland and uninteresting.
