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.

440ml can from Benny’s, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky almost black colour with a thin, broken off white head. The aroma is roasty, creamy floral. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, somewhat light, fresh, roasty, piney, light toffee, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
