The company was first established in February 1996, although production started in autumn 1995 with the remit to brew traditional beers, using local produce where possible to provide natural real ales endemic to this Region. The renowned softness of the water produces beers that have a round and mellow flavour, without the harshness that harder water tends to create.
Only the best quality Maris Otter malts are used in each full mash brew, with addition of whole hops fleurets form the Hereford area. In the case of the latter, the late marketing Director, Helen's maternal side, have been involved in hop growing around Hereford for some three generations. Accordingly, Sulwath Brewers do not use hop oil extract, but rather, fresh whole hops.
