Description
Founded in 2014, Leighton Buzzard Brewing Company is the first commercial brewing company to brew beer in the great town of Leighton Buzzard for over a hundred years.

In September 2019, ownership of the brewery was transferred to Mark Debrick, who is continuing to brew the award-winning beer that put us on the map, while at the same time introducing new and exciting recipes.

In 2020, we launched our local home delivery service serving our customers in Leighton Buzzard and the surrounding area.

Bottle: Clear, deep ruby-amber coloured, smaller and slowly collapsing off-white foamy layer; moderate - but distinctive - roasty-ashy aromas in the bitter-sweet caramelly and fruity nose, traces of chocolate included; moderate sweet-bitter flavour with the usual certain acidity, nearly medium bodied and pretty soft; drier caramelly and roasty-bitter finish. Complex and pleasant Porter...
