Description

Black Hole was established 2007 with a 10-barrel plant in the former Ind Coope bottling stores, Burton-on-Trent (now demolished), but moved to its current location in 2017. Its fermenting capacity of 36 barrels enables production of up to four brews per week (some under the Little Eaton Brewery, and Mr Grundy’s Brewery names). Around 400 outlets are supplied direct, and many more via wholesalers. Since 2014, the brewery has been owned by GHH Llp, which also owned Mr Grundy’s Brewery (closed).

CAMRA tasting notes

Amber glow and malt and spicy hop aroma. Fresh lively session beer hopped to give a clean crisp finish of hoppy dryness and touch of astringency.
