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.

Bottle picked up at Morrissons, Aylesbury 8th August 2006, and drank this that evening on a narrowboat sat outside the Great Western Arms, Aynho. Brown in colour, malty aroma, malty taste, bit sweet, didn’t get to drink all of this as the friend who I passed a Duvel to could’nt get on with that so I swapped for this, think I did well out of the deal.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] An orange beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty - but quite light. The flavor is boring with light notes of caramel, leading to a light hoppy dry end.

Beautiful amber color. The aroma is malty with a vanilla touch. The taste is clean, a bit malty, some caramel and a good bitterness. Strong palate, with a light fruitness as well.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is sweet and primarily fruity, but also with hoppy notes and a thin body. A boring IPA.
