Producing some rather successful test batches in the garage, with overwhelmingly positive reviews from unbiased (maybe a little biased) friends and family, the dream of creating our very our brewery seemed the obvious next step.
As with any great idea, plans were made over a few beers and we dived head first into the world of brewing, setting up shop in our little unit in West Hythe, Kent.
Things started small, a tiny 100 litre system produced our initial batches, barely enough to fill 2 casks a time! We outgrew this almost overnight, setting about building a bigger, more refined system a few months down the line.
Our brewing process has always been very hands on, with manually controlled pumps and valves - not a computer in sight!
Fast forward to 2020 and we are finishing the final details on our new, shiny brew house - a 1000 litre behemoth, with just a few automated features to help with consistency and keep things running smoothly.

Cask at the Bouverie Tap, Folkestone, Kent Wednesday 17th July 2019 en route back to Germany. Pours hazy light gold with a white head, a touch buttery on the nose. A bit thin in the mouth, again a bit of butter, soft mouthfeel, lacking all around.

Cask at the Bouverie Tap, Folkestone, Kent Wednesday 17th July 2019 en route back to Germany. Pours hazy gold with a white head, a little sweet, a touch of Burton Snatch on the nose. A little creamy vanilla, lacks a crispness and could be hoppier.
