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.

My Patron Saint Project Beer#11, today celebrating Saint Zeta, the Patron Saint Of Janitors through a Patrons Project brew. On the lighter side of brown in colour, but a bit more towards style in taste, albeit a sweet effort. It's good though with flavoursome hops clearly doing their job here providing light fruity notes.

440ml can. Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of lemon and lime.
Taste is lemon and lime dominated, zesty, pale malts, light bitterness. Light-medium bodied.
Relatively decent, and at least significantly better than their other recent AF beers that's for sure.

Can ar home. Odd colour in the glass and an odd taste and mouthfeel. Too sweet and more like a soft drink. Not great at all and I have another 3 cans.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Almost clear deep golden, small head. Piney grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium to full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Woody and piney with lots of grapefruit. Resinous bitter finish,
