The Freeminer Brewery at Sling lies within the Forest of Dean and has a tremendous following for its beers and its owner. Don Burgess went to great lengths to resurrect the traditional brewing skills - once so much part of the area.
Don makes no compromises over ingredients, nor does he take short cuts in the process of creating pure natural beers. An example of this is in the production of his Speculation Ale for which he uses floor malted English barley, whole hop flowers, bore-hole water and top-fermenting ale yeast. The result is a hoppy, well balanced, rich chestnut ale that is surprisingly bitter and most definitely out of the ordinary.
