Description
Cellar Head Brewing Company is an award-winning independent microbrewery founded by Chris and Julia McKenzie in 2017. We wanted to create an all-inclusive brewery that crossed many divides - generations, beer tastes and styles, in a no nonsense "what you see is what you get" way.
We use traditional brewing methods to produce a varied range of modern beers focused on drinkability and quality using the finest of English grown malts and hops as well as selected high quality hops from around the world and our own strain of historic Sussex live yeast.
We are lucky to still be surrounded by hop gardens in this corner of Kent and source as many hops locally as we can. We showcases these hops with our monthly-changing Single Hop Pale series and Small Batch specials.

Cask at Tapping The Admiral, Kentish Town on 21st July 2020. Medium brown with loose, shallow off-white foam and spot lacing. Rich malty aroma with nuttiness, wood and mild spices. Nutty maltiness in-mouth with a finish that becomes bitter and of good duration. Zingy mouthfeel and light to medium body.
