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.

A 500ml bottle brought from Frome's monthly Sunday market. This is a farmhouse saison rather than the style listed here. A very good one too, pours amber with a white head, slightly sour with earth, herbs & citrus. Different bottle of beer in my home No. 2026

440ml can at Woolley Grange, Bradford-on-Avon on 22nd July 2023. Pours slightly hazy amber with shallow, but lasting off-white foam and scant lacing. Zesty citrus peel and caramel malt aroma. Grapefruit citrus in-mouth, and a finish of citrus peel and grapefruit juice. Light body and a zingy mouthfeel.
