Kinver Brewery is an award-winning, family owned, independent craft microbrewery located near Kinver Edge and the rock houses on the outskirts of Kinver, South Staffordshire. Kinver Brewery was founded in 2004 using a 4-barrel (6.5 hectolitre) plant purchased from Brewster’s Brewery. We have since increased production capacity to a custom-built 10-barrel (16 hectolitre) plant.
Kinver Brewery use only four ingredients: malted barley, hops, yeast, and water, to produce cask and bottle-conditioned ales. All of our beers are available as vegan, on request. Our hops are sourced from a range of locations including Worcestershire, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovenia, and USA. We are a SIBA-assured independent craft brewery, recognised by multiple prestigious awards.
Gravicask, 4.7 % abv, at The 14th Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival 2022, Marquee Bar. Shared with Finn. Misty golden body, naked at the surface, rings of lace down the glass. Grassy hops and a citric scent on the nose. Green hops, grass, and moments of citrus to the taste profile. Mid-dry fruity ending. Straightforward. (Nottingham 13.10.2022).
Cask at the Post Office Vaults, Birmingham 04/06/2022. Pours clear golden with a white cap. Aroma: pale malts, light caramel, light grassy. Taste: light sweet & bitter, grains, light citrus. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. OK.
Cask at Hop & Scotch, Kings Heath, Birmingham. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light perfume. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, smooth, malt, medicinal, perfume, light woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. This won’t be to everyone’s taste!

Gravity cask at Pigs Ear 2021 - Hackney. Pours clear brown with a frothy, off-white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with mellow roast, some oily pine, orange, lightly toasted brown bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Light warmth in the finish, mild resin, citrus accents, well toasted malts. Not bad.
Third of a gravity dispensed pint at the Kidderminster Beer Festival on 6th November 2021. White head on a golden body, hop bitter from start to finish and pretty dry tasting. Not a lot of malts were used in the kettle!
Gravity cask at Badelynge Bar, Stourbridge. Pours hazy gold with a small head. Aroma is eggy caramel and bready notes. Taste is soapy straw and bitter grass with some green hop.
Cask at Hogshead, Wolverhampton. Pours a hazy pale straw with a small white head. Not much can be detected in the nose – just some faint floral hops. Watery and sweet in the mouth. Initially difficult to detect anything else, but eventually some floral hops come through, together with sourdough bread and traces of apples. Finish is quite dry. All in all, reminiscent of dishwater !
