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.

Keg @ The Sportsman, Huddersfield. Sportsman Bizarre Beer Festival. Cloudy amber ale with a very thin head. Has a grainy-floral aroma which is part of its taste too. There’s some fruit in here although not stated at all. Not dry in texture, but has a dry taste.

Bottle conditioned from a bistro in Market Deeping. Pale blondish colour, with a small white head. A bit to sharpe for my palate, a nice hop finish. Over all ok.
