Another Cornish Brewery, and another one I had never heard of. This one has interesting story. It took over the plant of the old Ventonwyn brewery. It is run by Anglo-Swedish businessman Rolf Munding, who also owns the Zatec Brewery in the Czech Republic. The website (http://woodenhand.co.uk/) tells us that the brewery started at its current location in 2004. Originally producing 8 barrels a month, five years later Wooden Hand Brewery produces upwards of 300 barrels per month with five different types of Ale. The Brewery is based near Truro, in Cornwall.
This beer is a very nice bitter. It has a dark rich colour with a distinctive character and a slightly biscuity flavour. Ingredients include Marris Otter malted barley, torrified wheat, crystal malt, English and European hops (not identified) and English yeast. It is 4.8% ABV and does not appear to be bottle conditioned. Very good.
