Description
We, Sharp’s Brewery, are a modern brewer of cask and bottled beer based in Rock, Cornwall, and owner of the UK’s number one cask and bottled beer, Doom Bar. We’ve grown rapidly to become the largest brewer of cask beer in the South West.

Sharp's Brewery was founded in 1994 by Bill Sharp. The brewery has been through three phases – from a small micro brewery, to a larger facility within the same building and finally to the current phase that has seen the Brewery extend its premises to accommodate more vessels and increase its brewing capacity. Since 2011, the brewery has been owned by Molson Coors.

Taster from Dad's bottle at Nottingham Arms, Tewkesbury. Clear amber, off-white head. Aroma and taste like unfermented wort as others have described it, sort of sweet-ish yet stale malt loaf thing going on. That's it. Even Dad didn't like it and he doesn't drink much now. Worst NA beer I've had in a long time, reminds me of those from 10-20 years ago.

This is nice enough but has not an especially pleasant aftertaste.

Cask at The Cornishman in Crantock. Caramel nose. Dark. Malt heavy on the palate and flavour. Bit dull but sweet enough to get through it.
