After starting with full mash, cooker-top home brewing in a tiny flat kitchen back in the mid-2000s, I attended a brew course with Dave Porter in Bury and knew then that I wanted to switch from working on trains to working with beer!
Opening up the pub meant home brewing took a bit of a back seat for a while. But the itch to brew didn’t go away. I also had a gang of tasters readily available - the willing customers! - so I started to look into options to brew on-site at the pub.
