Description
Since 2008, Sandstone Brewery has been committed to producing authentic and unique beers that push the boundaries of regular brewing styles and categories. We’re proud to serve our customers with only the best, continually crafting each taste until it’s exactly right.

First brewed 21st October 2008. A 4BBL PBC Brewery Installations Ltd plant is used. The brewery was taken over by new owners in 2013. The existing portfolio of beers was retained with a number of new beers added.

Sandstone Brewery has helped to restore a traditional craft to the town of Wrexham. We use only the finest ingredients in our Ales with speciality grains from Britain, Germany and Belgium. Hops are sourced worldwide, allowing us a full palate of flavours to experiment with, creating both traditional and contemporary styles of beers.

Oldham Beer Festival 2025, beer number 11 of the afternoon. Black, coconut heavy aroma and taste, although I guess this could also be viewed as marshmallow and liquorice. Has a relatively easy smooth texture for its strength.

Bottle from Chester Beer and Wine. Cloudy gold with small white head, little retention. Aroma is floral with a light sour note, some toffee and bread. Taste is somewhat astringent, grainy, floral, toasty finish. Light bodied and flat as a pancake. Poor.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Minimally milky, amber colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white to off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, notes of berries, some yellow stone fruit, a touch of yellow and orange jelly. Taste is sweet-ish, pale and caramel malty, minimally bitter and slightly fruity hoppy, hints of yellow stone fruit, a touch of marmalade. Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly fruity, fairly refreshing - quite OK.
