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.

Gravity cask at Cambridge Winter Ales Festival. Light brown, translucent. Chocolate malt aroma. Bittersweet chocolate taste with vinous notes. Nicely balanced finish. Simple but elegant. A very well put together mild.

part of my 2013 backlog, and tried at the Peterborough Beer Festival. Reddish brown beer with a small white head. Aroma has the floral aroma in the write up, the taste is tropical fruit. Good solid beer.

Draft at Craft Beer Rising 2014 - Brick Lane, London. Pours clear brown with a frothy, tan head. The nose has moderate roasted malts and dry chocolate. Medium sweet flavor with mellow earthy bitterness, more chocolate, some toasted grass. Medium in body with fine carbonation. Light roast to finish with a bit of burnt bread and dirt. OK.

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.

Bottle from bistro in Market Deeping. Pale golden colour with slight white head. Nice fruit aroma and a hoppy bitter finish make it a nice IPA. at only 3.8% this is a very drinkable beer.
