Description
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.

Bottled at RBESG 2007. An orange beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of alcohol, which burns in the throat.

[i] Cask at the George Hotel, Belper, Derbyshire 17-01-08 [/i] Marzipan and dessert apples dominated the aroma and came through to a lesser extent in the mouth , although the marzipan was still there riding roughshod over all. I didn’t totally dislike this beer, but I really found it quite strange and not my thing at all.

Bottle at Chris_o’s Magic Night. Thanks to haddonsman for this one. Hazy amber. Thin beige head. Bit of a dusty aroma. A little better in mouth, but overall pretty awful. Either a poor beer or the bottle conditioning didn’t work.
