Description

Simon Poffley wants to revive the tradition of farmhouse-brewed beer in the Brecon Beacons. He opened the Left Bank Brewery, located in a farm on the northern edge of Llangorse Lake, in the spring of 2019 and has been brewing since then, using Brecon Beacons water from a borehole. He wants to start fermenting using naturally occurring wild local yeasts and local malt, barley and hops if he can find them.

The first batches were brewed before Spring 2013 at the Hornbeam Cafe, Hoe Street, Walthamstow, London. Later production moved to the Blackhorse Workshop, Blackhorse Lane, Walthamstow where we produced over a hundred brews. After brewing a few batches in Bermondsey production was moved to the Brecon Beacons.

Cask at EBF Easter 26. Slightly opaque amber. Frothy foamy translucent white head. Aroma has light spicy fruit. Flavourwise it has a citrus and slightly vinous edge with underlying caramel. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Low hopes but actually quite enjoyable.

Bottle from Wales Ales. Pours a murky cola brown with small ring of foam but not much of a head. Aroma of smoke, slightly meaty but more wood noted than anything. Some sweet notes come through. Taste of smoked bacon flavour crisps, some yeasty sour berry tang. Long moderate bitterness with some liquorice which is the best bit of this beer. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Not for me.
