Description
We are a Microbrewery based in the picturesque village of Bow Brickhill, near Woburn, on the Buckinghamshire / Bedfordshire border.

Head brewer, Ryan Horne, has always had a passion for real ales and craft beer and has devoted time and effort learning about traditional brewing techniques and perfecting recipes using only quality, natural ingredients.

Having gained these skills we decided to take the ‘goat by the horns’ and brew our efforts for a wider audience to enjoy. After much planning and hard work our 6 Barrel Brewery was installed in early March 2015 and brewing in Bow Brickhill finally commenced.

Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - copper with a nicely proportioned cream head. Nose - dried fruit, ginger cake. Taste - Jamaica Cake, malt loaf and more dried citrus. Palate - creamy in texture, medium bodied. Could have a bit more bitterness. Overall - good, but very old fashioned. Really this is an ESB, which is no bad thing.

Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - deep amber to brown with hints of red Cream head. Nose - dried orange and cakey. Sweet spices at the back. Taste - caramel, cake and candied citrus and tropical fruit. Sweet spices again close it out. Palate - medium bodied with gentle bitterness. Overall - good, but not a session IPA. That's why it's loaded as a Bitter.

Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - deep amber with copper chunks. Cream head. Nose - dried orange, sweet spice and general cakiness. Taste - malt loaf, dried orange and raisin. Palate - creamy texture and medium bodied. Tangy malty, dry finish. Overall - not what I expected from this style. Expected more hops and less malt influence. But enjoyable. Like an English Strong Ale at session strength.
