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.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. A pale amber pour with a loose white head; powerful floral aroma; strongly hopped leading to some burn in the mouth and a dryish floral taste with some lemony citrus. Good stuff.

Cask. Hants Oktoberfest. Nil aroma. Opaque dark amber. Medium white head. Light bitter. Aplogies, should have added this as a ESB. Thinish. Lightish. Slight fizz to the carb. Average finish. OK. But not an IPA.
