The Nailsworth Brewery
Commercial brewing has once again begun in Nailsworth after a period
of 96 Years in the form of a six-barrel micro brewery. Our aim is to make the name of Nailsworth
once again synonymous with that of 'Good Beer'.
But what is a micro-brewery and what does the six barrel bit mean?
Well, as the name suggests, it is a 'small' or 'minute'
(Collins Concise Dictionary) brewery. And as for the 6 barrels,
it has nothing to do with casks or kegs, but the unit of measurement used to
denote the volume of beer a brewery can brew in a single brew. A 'barrel' equates
to 36 gallons (288 pints) or 163.66 litres (if you are that way inclined).
