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!

BCA. Pale gold with a moderate white head. A hint of citrussy hop aroma. The flavour had a touch more hop with a good bitter finish. Good.

BCA. Opaque orange colour with a decent off-white head. Aroma of grassy hops and some chunky malt. The flavour had some more malt balanced by some earthy, orange hops. A drinkable session beer.

Bottle conditioned. Slightly cloudy, deep gold colour with slight off-white head. Aroma of earthy hops with a touch of citrus. Slightly grainy mouth feel. Flavour of fruity malt with a dry finish. OK but not memorable.

Bottle conditioned. Slightly cloudy copper colour with minimal head. Aroma of earthy hops and orange. Flavour started fruity before a dry finish. Marred by a slightly woody aftertaste. Didn’t quite come together.

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.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, mediumsized white creamy head. ARoma is very fruity and slightly wooden. Flavour is grass, hoppy fruit and some vanillaish notes. Not very exciting.
