Description
Our wonderful brewery that many of you know and love was first set up in 2016 after months and months of hard work converting an old barn into a fully functional business.

Even though we were able to replace some of our equipment, to this day we are still using the OG 750 litre brew kit we bought off Ebay - and sheโ€™s SO ready to retire.

Where we are at the moment has around 900sq ft for us to work within, plus 750sq ft of storage and parking for 3-4 vehicles. Our new site has a whopping 3000sq ft with 1500sq ft of storage for us to use, and we have a car park too which is something we feel we desperately need to be able to move forward the way we would like to.

Due to the increase in workspace size, this will enable us to go from brewing 3000 litres a week to an incredible 8500 litres a week! We have two new 2000 litre fermenters meaning we can increase our brew capacity from 750 litres a day to 2000 litres a day.

9/4/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers! Pours clear amber with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, nut and twigs. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, oily and watery texture, quite fizzy. Slight tart, nutty and earthy finish.

Bottle: Holy crap this one is a foamy mofo, when there is already head in the bottle before pouring it might be an issue. Poured a mahogany brown with a huge (understatement) tan head. Aroma is head...earthy and nutty, some malts. Taste is earthy, some hazelnuts, leafy, malty, finish is dry and nutty.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with a lively head. Nose - sour berry, a little and something slightly poopy. Taste - fresh sour berries this time. Again a bit earthy but cleaner than the nose. Palate - tangy, while a little creamy too. Dry, tangy finish. Overall - quite good after a poor start.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. I think as @blackHaddock said this beer is โ€œa shitty sour (but Cranberry sweet) sort of way!โ€ And I quite liked it.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - slight gusher. Amber to brown with decent fawn lacing. Nose - red fruit and nuts. Perhaps a light wild yeast tang. Open mind though. Taste - tangy red fruit, perhaps cranberry. Nuts at the back. Brown bread. Wild yeast tang coming out as a dry yoghurt note. Palate - close to medium bodied and tangy sour in the middle and end section. Seems like a wild yeast infection. Overall - not as the brewer intended.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - very lively on opening. Cloudy and light brown. Proportionate head. Nose - cranberry and light yoghurt note. Sourdough and biscuit. Taste - more red fruit and sourdough. Palate - tangy and lightly bitter at the same time. Overall - challenging. Not sure it was meant to be quite this wild.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Gusher. Pours murky golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light sour dough, something fruity, bit of yoghurt funk and vinegar. Taste is sweet, strangely sweet given the nose. Thin finish.
