Description
Clearwater Brewery started life in 1998 in the town of Great Torrington, North Devon. Taking its name from the purity of the local water supply that forms an integral part of each tantalising mouthful of beer, the company has become an ever-growing local success story. From small beginnings the company used carefully selected recipes to build a local following and a well-earned reputation for delicious and characterful ales. Clearwater’s reputation and its beers have gradually grown throughout the local region. Clearwater Brewery relocated in 2014 where it now sits nestled in the hillside overlooking the maritime town of Bideford, North Devon.

Cask at Bar Fringe, Manchester. Amber pour with a white head. Quite a floral aroma, splash of malt, some fruit. Malt and fruit in the flavour. Average stuff and certainly not quite the over enthusiastic description above but I must give due credit to the author’s eloquence. Most impressive.
