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.

Handpull cask at the Blue Moon, Cambridge, during the NVB Tap Takeover 3/8/17. Light orangey gold, slightly hazy, with no head. Lovely notes of grapefruit, resin, light tropical fruit. Taste is bitter. The hops never relinquish control, although the focus seems to change from pure citrus to more piney near the finish. Oily body. A beer that exceeded expectations for me. Wow.
