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.

Cask@GBBF2009 (Inclined Plane Bitter). Golden colour, no head. Aroma is cooked vegetables, toffee and some mild earthy notes as well. Flavour is quite much the same along with some eggy notes.

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at FFTMC, Oxford 28-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours mid amber with a small thin white head. The nose I found to be quite unusual in that I got some cheesiness not unlike brie, most strange but not so unpleasant. Quite a fruity bitter with some biscuity malts showing, its ok but compared to the Leeds Pale which I’ve just had it comes in a distant second.

[i]Cask at the Babbington Arms, JDW, Derby 08-09-07 [/i] Amber in colour with small white head, not as bitter tasting or even as strong as I’d expected, a fruity and malty average beer.

Had this at the Woolpack, Rothwell, Northants, 26-05-07. This was my last beer(s) of the day after attending the nearby Woodford Beer Festival at The Duke pub, so my recollection is a little sketchy. Poured a mid brown colour with small white head, tasted quite fruity, good maltiness and decent bitterness, not bad had a couple of pints. I remember this had a pumpclip image of a red double decker bus, hence the hop on name and also as I no doubt imagine it was quite hoppy but I cannot remember that much detail.
