Where Beer Tastes Like Beer
We are an independent craft producer of cask and bottle-conditioned beers. Opened in 1997 brewing for our flagship pub, The Talbot at Knightwick in Worcestershire (www.the-talbot.co.uk).
With steady growth, we now have a portfolio of pubs we produce for, as well as supermarkets, independent stores and wholesale businesses across our local counties. We are proud that all the hops we use are grown in Worcestershire & Herefordshire and all the barley used to make our malt is domestically grown here in the UK.
Our Beers
The flavour profile of our beers are inspired by the hops grown in our native Worcestershire & Herefordshire and the barley used to make our malt is domestically grown here in the UK.
Our beers are ‘bottle conditioned’, which means the ale is unfiltered and unpasteurised to maintain the same quality and flavour as the cask version. Most of our ales are available as cask or in bottles. All of our beers are winners of either the covereted Great Taste or SIBA Awards.
