Description
Papworth Brewery is the inevitable outcome of a beer-loving scientist becoming disillusioned with his career. Chances are that you’re a beer lover too and can understand why someone would give up a successful 25 year career to brew beer. It’s got to be more interesting than most other jobs, right? Well, that’s the way our beer-loving scientist saw it. When “job satisfaction” is the taste of a good pint, who can argue?

Papworth Brewery was founded on an uncompromising philosophy, It’s All About The Beer, and an ambition to brew deliciously drinkable ales. The idea is that if we stick to the philosophy, then we’ll achieve the ambition.

Half of gravity. Headlined as a red IPA. This was ok, but there was a sweetness going on here that I really didn't dig. Wasn't a floor pour, but not the greatest.

29/5/2026. Cask at the 2026 Colchester Summer Beer Festival. Decent pour. Fruity and hoppy. Drying, lightly tart, a bit thin. Liked it.

Pours hazed pale golden with a small and diminishing white head. Aroma: bread, spiced malts, grassy hops and citric peel. Taste: sweaty grassy hops and lemony malts. Light palate. Bit acidity.
