Grange Farm, Welham Road, Thorpe Langton, LE16 7TU, England
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.

Ruby red ale, not as strong as the label might suggest, but very fruity with some sweet garden berries. Has a nice creamy head to it too.

Cask, handpump at The Nut Tree, Murcott, Oxon 10-01-10 Pours almost gold in colour maybe light amber but with a white head. In many respects this isn’t so very different from the Caudle bitter but for all the wrong reasons. I just tended to find this quite thin and lacking in flavour, the beer itself tasted fine, lightly bitter with some hops (but not much showing) reasonably refreshing and clean, and dry at the end. In fact it leant towards a lagery taste at times but I wonder whether this was because it was served a tad too cold looked gold and lacked a bit of flavour. It’s ok A6 A3 F5 P3 Ov11 2.8

Cask, handpump at The Nut Tree, Murcott, Oxon 10-01-10 Pours light amber with white head. Easy drinking beer that lacks in both bitterness and also flavour, its not a bad beer by any stretch it’s just a touch thin and insubstantial. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0
