It's great to have met Jem - Head Brewer - at Cheddar Ales when I went to taste his brews. Nestling on the slopes of the Mendip Hills, within a stone's throw of the famous Cheddar Gorge, Cheddar Ales is a microbrewery producing premium quality real ales for you to enjoy at home as well as in the best pubs. Jem insists on using only the finest ingredients and time-honoured methods as old as the hills themselves to produce a range of beers for traditional and modern tastes alike, that are best described as Simply Gorgeous. It is a fine range of smooth quality beers. I'm not the only one to rate this brewer. As well as picking up awards Roger Protz has given deserved praise such as "A superb porter" to sum up Totty Pot and made 3 of these brews 'Beer of the Month' on Roger's site beer-pages.co.uk.
Currently the range comprises Goat's Leap: a contemporary IPA full-bodied, strong with a striking bitter finish, brimming with hop character. Gorge Best: intricate blend of hops for a distinguished Best Bitter with a clean bitter taste complementing warm malt flavours perfectly. Totty Pot: rich, dark porter with a deeply satisfying roasted malt character and subtle hop highlights. Brewed using the best quality Maris Otter, wheat and dark malts and hopped with a blend of English whole hops. And finally Potholer: an award winning golden ale, lively and refreshing with zesty fruit flavours, a rounded finish and bags of aroma. To buy a brewery mixed case try the Cheddar Ales Selection.
