Description
Bexar County Brewery was born out of the need for newer more creative beers to be produced in England. The days of only having a handful of styles of beers to drink are ending, and we are part of that change. A beer revolution is occurring, and I am proud to be on the front lines.
Please have a look around. Here you will find loads of useful information (and plenty of rubbish as well) about the brewery as well as updates on beers being produced and where you may find them.
Cheers!

New version on tap at the Stoneworks Peterborough. Jet black colour with a thick tan head, that remained to the bottom of the glass. Rich chocolate malty and coffee aroma. Taste coffee roasted bitter, to bittersweet balance. Thick full body, that feels well below 9%.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Dark gold, cloudy (merc-y?), some white head on top. Some canned pineapple and papaya notes with lemon biscuit. Tiny bit vegetal. Bitter taste with an underlying fruity sweetness that never really gets going. Touch of astringency closer to the finish. More citrus in the aftertaste and strangely, almost has a boozy burn. Decent sessionable beer if slightly odd and slightly messy.

KeyKeg at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Mid-gold, pretty much flat. Light tangerine and bready biscuit aroma. Sharp bittersweet taste with herbal notes. Finishes sweeter, with pineapple juice and persimmon in the aftertaste. Pretty good but it does have a few issues.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. The pinky-mauve colour is alarming. Bit hazy with a tiny ring of white head. Light watermelon notes in the subdued aroma. Tastes quite nice. Thereis a gentle juicy sourness to offset the sweetness, and the beetroot shines through a bit. More melon, some cherry in the aftertaste. Palate is thicker than I thought it would be. Verdict: the beetroot isn’t really vegetal at all, but adds a nice fruitiness. The beer lacks the depth I’m used to from Bexar County but it is worth trying and certainly refreshes on a hot afternoon. A good way to get your superfood!!
