The brewery: "You can find Enville Brewery nestled amongst the beautiful rolling hills and valleys of the South Staffordshire countryside. Whilst stables may not be the obvious choice for most emerging breweries, Enville’s founder could see that these unused farm buildings would be the perfect, if somewhat unlikely, home for a brewery. We have been brewing award-winning ales here in the village of Enville since 1993......We are proud to use only the highest quality ingredients and our own natural well water to brew a broad range of beers to satisfy all tastes. Of these beers, it is Enville Ale that started our journey 26 years ago, and continues to be a firm favourite amongst local drinkers and beyond. With its original recipe dating back to the 19th century, it is a traditional beekeeper’s ale that is still beloved in the 21st Century."
The beer: "Based on a 19th century recipe, this traditional beekeepers ale is light in colour with fruity notes and a hint of sweetness to compliment the dry hoppy taste. Brewed using our own natural well water, Maris Otter floor malted barley, specially selected honeys and pure English hops, it is no surprise that our flagship Enville Ale has been a consistent CAMRA and beer festival award winner since we began brewing in 1993."
I might have been put off had I read the description prior to supping but I did enjoy this. Pale and easy drinking it accompanied a nice meal in a great location. Hope to try some of the others in their range too.
