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.

EU local swap 1/20, danke an minutemat. Angenehmer klarer Beginn von Röstmalz, leichter Herbe und minimaler Süße. Schokoladenaromen im Mittelteil, die Röstigkeit bleibt stark, hinzu kommt eine geringe Hopfigkeit. Voluminös malziger Abgang, trocken herb. 10/12/12/12/8/12

500ml bottle via Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Clear gold appearance. Foamy white head. Moderately sweet malt on the nose. Taste presents a moderately sweet, crisp, bright fruity hops. A proper real ale named after a steam locamotive with picture of said train on the bottle. I believe I've actually travelled on this at the Severn valley railway too. Excellent sweet blonde real ale.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light gold, slightly hazy with a thin white head and considerable lacing. Lime cordial and rich tea biscuit in the aroma. Sweet taste, malt-led, with a touch of bittering hop near the finish. Not particularly imaginative but not bad either. A nice, inoffensive little beer.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light gold, clear with a touch of white head. Hay, butterscotch, toast in the aroma. Sweet syrupy taste. Not a lot to it. The perfect serving temperature stops this from being the typical buttery gold.

500ml bottle from Appleyards. Clear gold appearance, white froth. Sweet vegetal nose, continuing to taste with metallic sweetness. It's a few weeks past best before so perhaps shouldn't judge too much but I expected something a little more lighter and less harsh.

Bottle on the Severn Valley Railway. Poured a clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, mineral, light citrus, light floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a malt, earthy, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not what I would call an old school bitter. It’s blonde and highly carbonated for starters.

Bottle on the Severn Valley Railway. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, nutty, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, fresh classic English bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A young and fresh beer served at the right temperature. A great example of the style.
