Barley Wine 2023 Edition | 11.2% Burgundy Barrel Aged | 330ml Bottle

VOCATION BREWERY LIMITED

£11

The second release of our take on a traditional English barely wine; brewed with 100% English ingredients including 5 specifically selected specialty malts, 2 varieties of UK grown hops and Nottingham yeast. Gracefully rested for 21 months in burgundy barrels, enabling a delicate essence of blackberry and oak to gradually infuse into the barely wine. Initial notes of Morello Cherry, delectable toffee and biscuit lead way to a bouquet of berries, golden honey, almond, sweet bready malt and a touch of fragrant rosewater.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as VOCATION BREWERY LIMITED, number 08910830. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
