Description
We are a Bristol brewery called "The Ashley Down Brewery". Inspiration for the venture came during a visit to the Factoberfest at the Tobacco Factory when Vince Crocker and some like-minded friends decided to have a go at brewing their own. Since those early days, Vince has experimented in his garage with a small collection of homemade and bought brewery equipment. He has tried, tested and perfected many of his own recipes before coming up with brews he’s happy with.

Bottle from Corks of North Street. Pours deep gold, with a slight haze and next to no head. Light cereal malts and hay aroma with a touch of spice and some stone fruits. Easy drinking, with a touch of lemon, rye earthiness, the merest trace of smoke and a gentle finish. A decent summer beer.
