Description
Driven by an enthusiasm for real ale, work began on the current Grasshopper Brewery site in Langley Mill early in 2016. Two time served engineers and lifelong friends and their beloved wives (one an accountant the other an IT specialist) all got their heads together and by the end of 2017 the team 'mashed in' their first brew on the new site. Shortly afterwards Grasshopper Brewery's beers started appearing in pubs nearby. Today as our beers gain recognition for their quality and our range gradually grows, new sales and re-orders has seen our beers reaching pubs, micro-pubs and festivals throughout Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

Cask at Peacock, Derby. Couldn’t detect much nose at all on this one. Pours a classic gold with a small white head and good lacing. Bit of a mish-mash in the mouth. It is bitter with hops and corn, but also sweet with discuit malts, yet again spicy with hints of ginger. The bitterness wins out in bthe finish. Pleasant enough I suppose.

Handpull cask at the Poachers Alehouse, Jacksdale. Dark gold and clear with a small head and plenty of lacing. Orange peel notes on the aroma with the sour spiciness of rye. Bittersweet taste with a citrus hoppiness overtaking the sip to the finish. Clean bitter finish. Simple but quite enjoyable.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest. Vaguest sour malt aroma. Amber. Frothy white head. Heavy sour. Light bodied. Flat. Astrigent finish. Odd beer. Too much rye? Dunno. Whilst I can finish it, it's not enjoyable.
