Wychwood Brewery was kind of a rare opportunity for me to try beer from abroad. I am very grateful…read morethat the opportunity has arose and I got to try a beer from the UK. Steve and I experienced their Hobgoblin Ruby Ale. There are a couple different versions of this Ruby Ale but we had the one that came in at 4.5 ABV. It is an English style Brown Ale with noticeable flavor highlights of toffee, maltiness, sweetness and dryness all very well balanced with none of those flavor highlights being too heavy handed. I like brown ales in general but virtually all of the ones I have had are made in the United States. What I noticed with this UK one was the dryness and how the sweetness was more in the background on your taste buds rather than dominant. Not too sure how it was done but it was a refreshing change of pace.

Surprisingly challenging to find in this little town, once dominated by the brewery, down a…read morebackstreet in a seemingly residential area. Upon arrival we were ushered downstairs, and given a half-pint of their monthly special - ours was the 'full Brazilian' which was...well...not the best, but good to try. We were then taken around the brewery by our very knowledgeable tour guide / ale aficionado. This involved tasting the raw hops, and different kinds of malts used, and looking at lots of vats and pipes and other brewing stuff. It is actually surprisingly small for how common their beers are, some of the equipment was over a century old which seemed impressive. After the tour came the bit that everyone was looking forward to, the tasting! Beers served at the recommended temperature, which despite the detailed lecture from our doctor of ale tour guide about ale temperature, was still a little warm for me. 11 beers, served one or two at a time to compare and contrast. Before you get excited they were served in tasting cups, about the size of a double-shot but still...11 in half an hour was pushing it for some. Finally, nice and loosened up, into the gift shop for some hobgoblin related purchases. Of course, you can buy the beer here and of course, it is a fraction of the price it is in London...of course, make sure you plan how much you can carry *before* purchasing. A couple of things to remember: * Book at least two weeks in advance for the tour, places are limited - more limited than I had expected. * Don't wear flip-flops...they will force you to wear 'daps' because of all the crazy cleaning irritants on the floor.

Well done. The beers were excellent and they had a nice variety to choose from. We went twice, and the second time was during a Cask Beer tasting event. They had like 40 cask beers available to try, and the pizza oven was churning out the pies. They looked and smelled so good! Their branding is phenomenal! We got a hoodie to remember the beer, the vibes, and the branding.

So you can buy them all in the shops now and in many pubs now, but they're all brewed right here in a small, one shed factory. I am a fan of all their deep-flavoured, well fermented Gold, Blond, Bitter and Brunel ale varieties. They've even branched out into cider and are in cahoots with other local North Somerset alcohol producer, Thatcher's cider. Visitors are always welcome to the on-site shop, so head on down.

So to find Butcombe Brewery just a short bike ride down the road is a real bonus. I'd had a few pints of their bitter since moving to the area (thankfully they serve it in my local pub) I was aware of their mainstream beer already. Then last year I visited the brewery on their open day - what an event! There was a band on, a burger bar and lots of people. They had a wide range of beers on and it really did feel like they'd opened their doors to the public. They even gave away free beer! I did note their brewery tours were booked up well in advance and I'm guessing they might give you a drink or two for free then too. The beer is certainly my new favourite and I hope to pop back at some point to stock up from the shop.

The brewery itself is open most saturdays selling bottled beers.

After visiting the Apple (Cider Pub) on the river. I walked on here thinking of having a cider. Which I did. And it was very nice too, and the bar staff were very polite and helpfull on that front. One of the things I liked was chilling on the roof, overlooking the river, and watching the boats go by. Going by the other customers. The Sunday Roast was popular too. Although, I only had a packet of crisps. But would hope to eat here one day soon. Next time. I will try the beer at the Beer Factory and not the cider. Doh. My excuse was - I did not see the name of the pub, until I was drinking my cider on the top of the boat. LOL
