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.

Can from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Near black in colour, with a small, beige, head. Aroma of chocolate, soy, some spice and plum fruit. Flavour was similar, with a rather thin mouth feel before a dryish finish. Ok.
