Samuel Smith is one of the oldest breweries in the UK, and all their beers and ciders are completely organic and made following traditional English recipes, with traditional ingredients. While they are most well-known for their Nut Brown and Taddy Porter, the fine folks at the brewery have something for all occasions. The Craft Beer Geek sez: The British have a long history of brewing beers, and Samuel Smith is one of the oldest. Their flagship Nut Brown Ale is uncomplicated but delicious. With toasty notes, a creamy mouthfeel, and a hazelnut finish, don't believe the lies about English beer being flavorless.
