Description
Kettlesmith Brewing Company is a small, independent craft micro-brewery located in Bradford on Avon, just outside of Bath. We brew modern interpretations of a wide variety of beer styles; we draw inspiration from our background in America and England as well as our love of Belgian beer.
We see beer as having a place in restaurants and at the dinner table as a serious alternative to wine, a passion spearheaded by Antony, who is our head brewer and a Certified Cicerone. We aim to support our products with information, education and food pairing advice. We partner with other food producers to encourage people to see beer with fresh eyes.

Cask at the Bag of Nails, Bristol on 13th May 2026. Crystal clear copper with shallow foam and spot lacing. Inviting malt aroma. Bitter grassiness and tangy citrus in-mouth and a resounding bitter finish smooth mouthfeel and a fair amount of body. Superb.
