Description
Established in 1984 as Barron Brewery by ex publican Richard Barron who converted a redundant cowshed into the brewery. Former brewers' wholesaler Guy Sheppard joined Richard in 1991 when the name was changed to Exe Valley Brewery and the plant was expanded and upgraded. Richard retired from the brewery in 2003 and Guy now runs the brewery on his own account along with two staff including James Fryer who is our Head Brewer.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours clear coppeer with a moderate, white foam head. Tangy fruits and toasty dough in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor, more tangy fruits, some overripe orange, toasty dough, faint plastic, subtle leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine, tingly carbonation. Zippy on the finish with further fruit tang, faintly toasted malts, wet grass and leaves. Nothing special, and slightly odd.

Cask gravity at Six Bells Woodchurch. Not sure this is quite right. Bit tight on carbonation. But some bleach too. Not good.
