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.

Cask at GBBF. It pours hazy dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, wood, leather, toasted brown bread, toasted nut and umami. The taste is bitter - sweet, toffee, oily, brown bread, toasted nut, earthy roast, umami, spice and treacle with a drying, yet sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ok, but a bit muddled.
