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.
[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet flowery, while the flavor is sweet malty, as well as slightly fruity with a dry flowery end. The body is thin.
Amber color. Simple aroma with some malt and honey, but a more interesting flavor, with some good malt and a better aromatic hopping, that leads to a pleasant final.
Bottle - Sweet berry and malt aroma. Reddish brown color with light tan head. Moderate hop bitterness with a slightly sweet raspberry flavor. A nice beer. Cask just as nice.
Bottled. Dark amber with aroma of malt and fruit. Light bodied with delicate fragile, fresh malt profile. Really mild, and with big emphasis on the malt. Low to medium bitterness.
