The Ale Archive

 The brewery: " In the beginning Langton Brewery started at the back of the Bell Inn, East Langton in 1999. Originally, the brewery only intended to supply the pub and the local cricket club over the road. However, people started to really enjoy drinking the beer, and the team rather enjoyed crafting it. Especially after the head brewer came up with a little recipe called Inclined Plane.  So it was decided to up production and move Langton Brewery to the idyllic Grange farm at Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire in 2005." The beer: "It takes seven different varieties of malt to produce this intensely dark stout with flavours of liquorice and chocolate.  A roasted malt aroma is complemented by a hint of vanilla to create a rich full-bodied stout. Natural sunlight through a Bullseye window on a canal boat is like no other.  Perfect for a lazy day snoozing and cruising." Another tasty drop from Langton - great combination of flavours. Not exactly a summer ale to be supping ...

The beer: "A full-bodied copper coloured ale named after the famous Union Wharf in Market Harborough, Leicestershire.  Generous additions of Centennial hops yields a soft citrus flavour.  Dry hopping delivers a fruity nose and fresh finish." Sourced by a caravanning friend who helps me seek out new beers when on her travels, this was a tasty well rounded beer, very enjoyable indeed. Not too fruity, just right. 4.0% A.B.V. July 2023

The beer: "A generous addition of caramel malts defines this deep chestnut ale.  A sweetness on the palate results, which is offset by pine and citrus flavour notes.  This is a luscious, full-bodied brew which will leave you wanting another." Yum, lovely stuff - and yes I did want another! 4.4% A.B.V. July 2023. Related entries

The beer: "A refreshing amber coloured bitter with a light floral finish.  The late addition of the Amarillo hop instils a distinct citrus flavour.  First brewed in 2004, this multi-award winning beer is named after the canal boat lift operating in the 1900s at the Foxton Locks in Leicestershire." Very refreshing, though a tad too citrusy for me. Good stuff though. 4.2% A.B.V. July 2023. Related entries
