About
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.

Bottle picked up from an off licence in Bradford on Avon, consumed at Lighthouse Keepers Cottages, Lynton, Devon Thursday 30th November 2017 Pours gold with sprinkling white bubbling going on. The aroma is a little fruity, but it is quite discreet. Citrus but it's a touch tarnished by a little boiled sweet, it's ok. A6 A4 T6 P4 Ov12 3.2

Bottle picked up from an off licence in Bradford on Avon, consumed at Lighthouse Keepers Cottages, Lynton, Devon Thursday 30th November 2017 Pours gold with a white head, citrussy and refreshing as the description suggests. Juicy with a sweet lemon edge, this is a better beer than I was expecting. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask handpump at The Longs Arms, South Wraxall, Wiltshire (posh meal, GastroPub) Wednesday 29th November 2017 Pours light amber with a white head. A little fruity and with a pleasant light bitterness, it's a nice beer. My meal has literally just turned up hence the rushed review. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Cask gravity at Tamworth beer fest. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is cereal, grain and malt. Taste is a big sweet malty hit with some grain and bready malts. Mediocre.
