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.

Cask from the brewer's own stall at Feast at Waddesdon Manor. Deep gold with a thin white head. Leafy, floral hops with citrus hints. A little light, but pleasant enough.

Cask @ Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes. Dark clear copper with a glow and a bubbly head. It's a deeper gritty-malty ale but with a good taste to it, edging towards chocolate. Has a sweetish nose and an easy drinking texture.

Cask at the 25th Egham Beer Festival. A pale amber pour with a ring of translucent head, and a lemony aroma; big hoppy flavour, citrusy with some pine; and a long dry finish. Rather good.
