West Berkshire Leaning Lord Renegade Brewery (prev West Berkshire Brewery) Yattendon, Berkshire
Beer style: Bitter - Ordinary / Best Ref: ratebeer.com Jun2024
Common descriptors are Cask; Special - Beer of the month for November 2007.
This name is a corruption of a term used in coopering, of which there are
many. In actual fact, a lord was the name for a cask that leaned over and
was not upright and from this came the saying ‘as drunk as a lord’.
Perhaps the Cooper who made the cask had attained the same level of
enlightenment.
Medium oak in colour - the favourite wood of the cooper – with a balance
of malt and hops from the pale, dark and crystal malts and dwarf hedgerow
hops. |
