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.

Half-pint, shared with Frau Eva, cask at Maypole in Cambridge. Deep ruby-black in the glass. Stable beige head. Crocheted lacing. Mid-sweet chocolate malty nose, lightly roasted. Taste of chocolate malts on a backbone of lactose. Some hints of dark fruits towards the ending. Smooth in the mouth. Quite alright (10.07.2019).
