Description
Opened December 2005 based on Kinsons Farm, Whitebrook, Monmouth. Moved towards the end of 2007 to their current address.

Kingstone Brewery is a four barrel micro brewery located in Tintern, in the heart of the Wye Valley. Our real ales are adapted from traditional recipes to suit modern pallets. From hearty IPA’s to quaffable bitters and golden hoppy ales. We offer a beer for every occasion.

We here at Kingstone are unwilling to compromise on the traditional brewing process, therefore we choose to hand brew, and hand bottle our ales using traditional ingredients. Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurised and bottle conditioned to develop a fuller flavour, finer bubble and more subtle texture!

Bottle conditioned. Amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma of orange peel and earthy hops. Flavour of honey and more orange with a very dry finish. Would echo comment below about the spritzy mouth feel. Very enjoyable.
