Description
In the beginning Langton Brewery started at the back of the Bell Inn, East Langton in 1999. Originally, the brewery only intended to supply the pub and the local cricket club over the road. However, people started to really enjoy drinking the beer, and the team rather enjoyed crafting it. Especially after the head brewer came up with a little recipe called Inclined Plane. So it was decided to up production and move Langton Brewery to the idyllic Grange farm at Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire in 2005.

We are now in the middle of our journey and the popularity of our beers continues to grow. We have modernised our brand, bought new kit, lots more casks and are employing more folk like us. We are supplying local outlets, pubs, restaurants, hotels and farm shops. You name it and we’ll get the beer there.

No end – we are excited about the challenge of making new interesting and innovative beers. We’re striving to brew beers in all sorts of ways for all walks of life. Who knows where the future could take us? As long as we stick to our local values and we’re continuing to make great quality hand-crafted beer, we are happy.

Handpull cask at the Exeter Arms, Uppingham. Light to mid-gold, clear. Thin white head. Raw malt and cardboard dominate the aroma. Similar taste: sickly sweet and astringent at the same time. Long unbalanced finish. Like a macro lager in cask. Problems abound.

Cask at GBBF 2016. Day 1. Pours clear gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds pale bread, English yeast, light citrus fruits. Moderately sweet, with some doughy white bread, mellow citrus notes. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Decent balance in the finish - some lemony hops, more pale bread sugars. Not bad.

Tried at the Nottingham Beer Festival 2016. One of several golden beers tried over the day, and this one didn’t stand out.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear orange golden color, small white head. Smell and taste are both quite boring and actually not that good: malts, a bit buttery, malt bitter. Meh, don’t like it.
