Description
We’re proud to be a small, independent, family-owned business. Our founders Hamish Coates, Mel Holland and Colin Coates have stayed true to this for the entire life of the business.

With no outside investment or intervention, we make decisions based on what’s best for our staff, for our brewery and for the future of our planet.

This means that when it comes to doing the right thing, there are no shareholders or investors to answer to – we can just do it.

We are 100% independent, 100% family owned, and 100% of arguments are won by Ace – the dog!

Our farm and brewery take their name from a natural outcrop of ironstone that runs through the centre of our farm; “Rocky Ridge” perfectly sums up our slice of paradise and ironically sums up the somewhat rocky road that we are on as well.

Can at home, Espoo. Thanks Arde! Color is slightly cloudy dark brown with small slightly brownish head. Aromas and flavors: Caramel, strange alcohol elements (rum?), chocolate, malts... very strange.

Canned. Thx Arde. Poured brown in color. Mezcal like aroma, brown sugar, sweetness. Easy drinkable without clear flavor profile.

(Can, 0.5l, thanks Arde, at VastActiv, 20240112) The beer poured dark brown. Its head was tiny and lightly brown. Aroma had toasted malts, burnt sugar and vinous notes. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt sugar, vinous notes, toasted malts, vanilla, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. Different. Easy to drink.

From a 375 ml can on 10/1/2024. Pour an ever so slightly hazy with a smallish head. Has a distinct sharp citrus nose. Has some big citrus and stone fruit sweetness up front, which is met by a big resinous tongue coating finish, with a hint of sour at the back. Not very out creamy mouthfeel wise, with average carbonation. This is an odd one. On first sip I was thinking it was no good, but it grew on me as I consumed. Definitely interesting but use a bit more balance.
