Description
Our beer is brewed across two sites. The first is our original brewery at the Old Flax Store, this is where we began our journey in 2014, and is home to our LDS tap room. We expanded into our second much larger brewery, Sydenham Road, in April 2017. Between both sites we can brew up to 18 beers at a time.
The Old Flax Store is a Grade II listed building located in Holbeck, the spiritual heart of the industrial revolution. In 2014 we turned this derelict mill into a brewery, tap room and events space. This building is home to our first brewery, which takes up the ground floor of the building. Our second brewing site is also located in Holbeck, half a mile away at Sydenham Road, where 8 x 100HL conical FVs enable our total capacity at this site to reach 24,000HL.

Keg at CBC Clapham - London. Pours oily, clear brown-black with a creamy tan head. The nose holds rich chocolate and ripe berries. Medium sweet flavor with gooey chocolate, burt wood, smoke, peat, dirt, baking cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with dry dark chocolate, torched wood, earthy bitterness. Very nice.

Light haze on this gold - amber beer. Pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and a little soft. Smooth creamy malt, soft and airy. Little lactose. Hops are complex but mellow. Pine, subtle skunk, soft lime and a little ripe orange. Subtle tropical fruits and a touch of grass. Finishes soft and semi dry. Complex and tasty.

Keg at IMBC 2013. It pours hazy deep amber with a small white head. The nose is wood, caramel, toffee, raisin, dough, toast, brown sugar and honey. The taste is wood, earth, caramel, toffee, dried fruit, raisin, citrus peel and mild astringency with a dry, bitter finish. Thinner than it should be really. Watery and ultimately a bit underwhelming.
