Description
Old, fresh, and relentlessly dedicated to quality, our award winning brewery was established in 1996. Originally located in the nearby village of Gunness, brewing operations were moved to the Dog and Gun pub nine years later, the original 90 gallon brewing plant still used to this day. Our current maximum brew capacity is 270 gallons in a two week brewing cycle, with various beers and ales available at any one time. Born and forged from passion and creativity, we make beers and ales that we’re proud of.

Since embarking on our adventure, Dark Tribe Brewery has won many awards and accolades for our beers and ales. Many of these award certificates and plaques adorn the walls of the tap room in our pub. Our most prestigious achievments include being awarded the champion beer brewed in Lincolnshire (on three occasions) and having two beers reach the final six of the best beer of Britain competition. We brew nine regular beers (list below) and occasional special seasonal beers, augmenting our regular brews.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A red-brown beer with a nice light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with some roasted notes. The flavor contains notes of chocolate and berries, leading to a dry roasted finish.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is quite strong and is sweet. The flavor contains lots of caramel, so much, that the mouthfeel gets a little sticky, but it is balanced by a dry hoppy end.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Dark black. Dry, extremely roasty and oaty. Medium bodied with bitter, salty finish. Similar to, but by far more flavourful than, another stout with a similar name.
