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 draught at the Sandstone, Chester. Brownish red, translucent with a spotty buff-coloured head. Light malty aroma, not much to it but that's in keeping with the style. Delicious chewy malt in the taste, little touches of berry. Fades to a gentle astringent. Light body with carbonation ramped up. What it's supposed to be.
