Description
John and Jen are proud to announce that they have taken over the on-site Bluebell Brewery as of Spring 2016.
Operating from a former potato packing shed, the idea of setting up a micro brewery was conceived 12 years ago by two friends – one a head brewer, the other a publican. This proved a successful combination and the brewery grew both in reputation and production, collecting several awards along the way for it’s fine real ales.
Our aim is to continue to grow the brewery, only ever using the very best quality ingredients and to supply mainly local retail and private customers, maintaining a high level of product integrity and customer service.
