About
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.

Craft Islington. Keg. Clear deep red - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is semi dry and crisp. Light airy malts, a very mild dark chocolate and a bare whisper of roast. Mellow smoke. Sharp minerals in the mid. Few esters before a crisp dry finish. For a 6.1% beer it’s quite mild flavour wise.

Keg at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy white head. The nose holds lightly doughy malts with hints of ripe blueberries and lemons. Light to medium sweet flavor with some further doughy malts, berries - yep, blueberry - mild grains, soft bitter hay. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish with modest bitter straw, light grass, lemon, blueberry and melon. Not bad.
