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.

Can at home, from Docker at the Goods Shed Canterbury, 14/06/22. Lightly hazed golden orange with a good sized lasting just off white head. Nose is bitter orange, grass, citric sherbets, melon, toasted malts. Taste comprises bitter orange, citric tinged straw, grass, herb, hint of lemon. Medium bodied, light prickly carbonation, semi drying close spiked with lightly astringent hop bitterness. Passable affair ... a touch on the raw and astringent side and lacking some balance. Not terrible but would not revisit ... 2nd lowest score I've dished out to an Iron Pier beer from 11.
