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.

330ml bottle from Offie bottle shop. A diminishing fawn-coloured head, spotty lacing, black in the glass. Promising smell of coffee grounds, roasted. Malt-driven flavours of grainy chocolate, earth, and a backdrop of coffee. Roasted bitterness to the finish. Fine depth. Like it. (Hotel room, Leicester 11.07.2022).

500ml bottle from Offie bottle shop. Spotty lacing from an off-white head, bright golden-brown body. Inviting aromas of leafy hops and hints of caramel malts. Herbal hops, grass, and toffee to the taste character. Decent bitter ending. Medium bodied. Likeable. (Hotel room, Leicester 11.07.2022).

330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Very dark brown, only a sliver of translucency and almost no head. Coffee, papery notes, roasted malts in the aroma. Tastes sweet, more coffee, a little bit of cigarette ash. Little bit of chocolate notes in the bitter finish. Light carbonation. Hmm. Maybe a bit oxidised? It's drinkable enough despite issues.
