First of my Food of the Cotswolds is Beer! Well Lager! I normally would say Cotswold Brewery for a Lager, as that all I have really found in the Cotswold that does a locally brewed Lager. But no more!
From the Stroud Brewery http://www.stroudbrewery.co.uk/ a Organic Lager using local growing barley. What is really cool with Stroud brewery I think is that they show a map of where the barley is grown in the Cotswolds for their lager! Now that is cool. So next time you drive by a field of Barley in the Cotswolds you can find out if that is one of the fields.
Brewed using Bavarian hops, the taste is very European in lager style, a real premium taste. Now I have tasted St Austel Korev (In fact the glass in the picture is a Korev glass), and I have tasted Cotswold lager, both of which I highly rate and would drink these over any other mainstream lager sold in the UK (I am a fan of proper continental pilsner!), and I would say that the Stroud Premium Organic lager sits with these as UK brewed Lagers to drink!
Highly Recommended.
