About
We are a small group of people who are passionate about beer. So much so that we decided to bring a brewery back to Bewdley.
It has taken a lot of hard work and determination but we hope you'll agree it has all been worthwhile. Together we bring years of experience from within the industry and by just enjoying a good quality pint!
We brew on a 10 barrel plant which produces 2880 pints per brew. We have capacity to brew four times per week, and so this gives over half a million pints per year.
Wild River is our craft and keg arm of the brewery.

Pours clear gold, minor head, ringed retention. Fruity aroma, caramel and bready malts. Taste is sweet and hoppy with biscuit malts, pine, pear, stewed fruit, moderate bitterness. Soft carbonation and moderate body. Decent, there are some nice hoppy elements to this.

Bottle, also direct from the brewery. Pours clear dark gold, minor head, some circular retention. Aroma of lightly toasted malt, caramel, some fruity hops. Taste is sweet biscuit malts, a sharp citrus lemon, stewed starchy veg, a moderate bitterness and citrus in the finish. Moderate body and softish carbonation works well here. This is a good session bitter, enjoyable.

ORIGINALLY : Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton Pours a pale lemon yellow with a dense white head. Aroma is mainly butterscotch. In the mouth the texture is smooth. Taste is grains, malt and golden syrup. Finish is slightly bitter. Bland all round. RERATE : I can't disagree with the previous review - except the last sentence ! I think I was unduly harsh in my rating before - thisa definitely has some bite to it.

500ml bottle from Appleyards. Drunk on a quiet Friday night in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Ruby pour, small off-white head that disperses to scattered bubbles. Amber malt nose. Taste is a fairly straightforward malty ruby, nutty, malty with a robust bitterness.. lacking a pronounced sweetness that I hoped for. Ok.

Danke an minutemat. Dunkler, trocken röstiger Beginn, schwacher Hintergrund. Geringfügig nach Schokolade, wässrig herb, mit der Zeit weich bitter werdend. Die Röstigkeit nimmt ab, kurzer Abgang. Okay. 9/9/8/8/9/8

500ml bottle from Appleyards. Thanks Appleyards. Pours clear gold, small receding white head. Aroma is lightly fruity. Taste is a little spicy, gently fruity, malty with a soft bitterness, light carbonation, medium bodied. Not Bewdleys best but serviceable.
