Description
Founded in 2002 as Glastonbury Ales. In 2018 the plant was sold to Parkway Brewery but Glastonbury continue to brew there. In 2019, they relocated and renamed.

We set to work back in 2006, bravely challenging the traditional values of the UK beer market. At the time, real ale was under-represented and largely unexciting. We brought unique and flavoursome ales to local pubs and shops. Working with local chefs, farmers and herbalists we expanded our horizons. Soon word spread. Before long, we were working evenings and weekends to meet demand.

In 2008 we took the leap and moved the brewery to a larger site. More space and better equipment enabled us to experiment and diversify. We continued to deliver a broad range of real ales, but expanded into the territory now known as craft beer – small batch, highly experimental brews that ignore the rules to focus on flavour.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/02/2012. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Sweetish, caramel and berry fruit aroma. Bready, slightly yeasty, malt flavours with a lengthy, bitter fish. Good.

Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub
Aroma is rather bready with some grainy malt and toffee. Flavour has very bredy malt with some nuts, toffee and hints of berries. Rather dry, leathery and nutty finish. Decent.

Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub, Tampere. Rated on 10.12.2011
Aroma is surprisingly light with roastiness and cocoa. Flavour is rather dry with roasted malt and some peat. Dry and roasted finish. Rather nice real ale with rich flavour palette.

[Gift from my wife, from Dunster Village Stores - cheers!] Light amber, rapidly diminishing off-white head. Looks thin and fizzy, and turns out to be so in the mouth. Lovely aroma though - really enticingly fruity. However, the flavour is poor in comparison - dry minerals with just a hint of biscuitty malt. Didn’t really enjoy this, I’m afraid.

Cask Pub & Kitchen, post RBESG tasting. Clear amber beer, residual white head. Light semi dry palate. No carbonation. Starts lightly sour and the produces some sugary red sweets. Trace of parma violets sweets. Light dry finish. Inoffensive but somewhat left field!
