Welcome to the Falstaff Pub and Brewery

We are a Derby micro-brewery selling our beers throughout Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. We have a stable of six regular brews and each month we brew specials that change in style and strength.

The Falstaff pub is a traditional real ale house. We have up to 6 hand-pulls serving real ale, generally our own brews with the occasional guest ale. We serve draught lagers, ciders and Guinness with a selection of spirits, wines and soft drinks available.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal cream head. The aroma is a mix of roasted malts and blackcurrants. Roast malts to the fore again in the mouth, but the most prominent feature is the alcoholic strength which colours everything else. There is a slight sweetness, and flavour of parkin, old english spangles and traces of nuts. Finish is very dry and boozy. It’s a decent beer, but too much naked alcoholic strength for me.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops and honey. In the mouth it has a slightly watery texture. Main flavours are malts and honey with some hints of spices, marmalade and ginger. Some traces of apples later on as well. Finish is slightly bitter. Overall this is decent.
