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 draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark gold and slightly hazy with a sizeable off-white head. Piney character to the aroma, some papaya and melon. Bittersweet taste with big tropical flavours with mint and white pepper, and a surprising bitterness in the finish. Big body, heavy carbonation. A strange one, not anywhere close to NV's best but a drinkable and different to the norm DIPA.
