Description
Sherfield Village Brewery started brewing in May 2011, using a five-barrel plant. We're based on a farm in the North Hampshire village of Sherfield on Loddon. As well as a range of traditional British bitters and stouts, we also make extensive use of New World hops, particularly the heavily floral and citrus-loaded New Zealand hops such as Green Bullet, Motueka and Pacific Jade. We're small, which means we're flexible as regards delivery times - by sticking to a local area for direct deliveries we're able to deliver quickly - usually within a couple of days. We are on SIBA's DDS list, so available to Enterprise, Admiral and other group pubs. SVB is a few miles north of Basingstoke and just ten miles south of Reading. Note that all our beer is supplied to the pub trade and to festivals in plastic 9-gallon firkins. Note that all our beers are now unfined, so vegan-friendly.

26/8/2021. Cask at the 2021 East Anglian Beer Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours clear black with a small creamy beige head. Lovely looking beer. Aroma of ash, roasted malt, liquorice, vanilla, dark chocolate, dark fruit, coffee. Medium sweetness, light to moderate roasted bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, average carbonation. Dry, roasted finish. Good but would have benefitted from a bit more body.

Cask at the Allied Arms, Reading. This was my first cask beer of the year following all the Covid bollox (although not my first pub beer), do it was gratifying that it was served in top-notch condition (as I'd expected in this nice pub). More black than ruby and with a thick creamy-beige head and a light fizz. Nice smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Taste of milk chocolate and lightly toasted malt. It's pretty simple, but tasty, satisfying and surprisingly easy to drink for a dark beer on a warm night. A good beer with which to start the (fingers crossed) return to pub normality.

Delt med Rune. Svart. Mokkafarget skumring langs glasset. Kaffearoma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken røstet malt - men kaffen slipper ikke taket. Tørr avslutning. Kaffe.

Cask (Alehouse, Reading) - Golden with a faint haze. Floral hops, hop resins and grass in the aroma. Crisp and moderately bitter taste with lemon, hop resins, grass and a hint of orange. Refreshing and enjoyable.
