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.

Gravity cask at Mill Hill Cask & Coffee, Enderby. Chestnut/amber, clear with a ring of off-white head and considerable lacing. Malty, nutty aroma with forest floor notes. Bittersweet taste has a cherry caramel sweetness underlying the woody hop bitterness. Long finish with a suggestion of sourness. A slight bite of natural carbonation in the finish. In perfect condition which doesn't hurt!

Keg at the Real Ale Classroom, Stoneygate, Leicester. Chocolate-covered cherries, a touch of coffee and a touch of smoke in the wonderful little aroma. Tastes even better: very sweet with the black cherry and dark chocolate very much in the fore. Just a touch of bitterness in the finish, but make no mistake that this is a dessert of a beer. Not carbonatwd ro high heaven which means you can enjoy the taste. The body's a bit watery. Excellent.
