Description
We produce both cask and keg beer to the highest standards. From traditional best bitters, fermented in our open topped vessels, to hoppy IPA's fermented in our conical vessels, we aim to achieve the highest standards possible. We run a small lab in the brewery to ensure our beer is fermented cleanly, and is of the same high standard every time it comes to you. Our lab information is available to all our customers, from forced fermentation results and fining levels in cask beer to carbonation levels and yeast counts in keg beers. The Taproom at our brewery, located just off Perry Street, is designed to invite the community in Gravesend and beyond to come and see what we're up to on a regular basis, and see how we create and package our beer. The whole team share a passion for good beer, well cared for and well served. It is the aim of Iron Pier to provide great beer in the best condition we can.

Cask at Waterloo Tap. Opaque cola brown. Foamy beige head. Aroma has cacao and cream with light berries. Although I am stood outside and it's a wind tunnel! Flavourwise there's an initial coffee berry sourness followed by creamy cacao heavy mocha. Underlying chewy malts. Medium bodied. Creamy to oily. Soft lazily fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff.

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Dark brown with a thick khaki head. Massive aroma of roast malt, some treacle, salted caramel. Lush. Complex taste with a sweet maltiness to start, followed by a deft bitter turn and overlaid with a salty almost umami character. Body is a bit light and flat, but otherwise just incredible.
