About
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, 0.5l, thanks Arde, at VastActiv, 20240112) The beer poured deep golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had resin, fruitiness and grapefruit. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grapefruit, tart fruits, resin, pine, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A delicious hoppy brew.

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.

Can. Very dark brown with a tan head that crackles to a cm. Aroma of mocha, brioche dough, interesting funky dark fruit that is presumably the grapes juice or skins. Feels quite alive. Mocha, bread and less fruity funk than suggested by the aroma but a bit of tannic (and oaky?) bite at the drying finish. Intriguing. I like that they have made it at a modest ABV and let the elements speak rather than shout.

The aroma pops worth loads of grapefruit and some tangerine, green apple and bread crumbs. Some stone fruit pops up in the mouth to dull the liveliness, and it finishes a tad shor. Bur it's a nice Summer afternoon delight.

Can. Almost clear gold with a loosish inch of white head. Aroma of grapefruit, some tropical fruit, pine, crackers. Light bodied without a whole lot to support the hops. Fairly bitter finish. A bit empty in the middle and a bit anonymous, but fine.
