We particularly enjoy brewing old style beers such as porters, stouts and milds. We also produce an extensive range of pale beers and never miss an opportunity to create something new.
Our brewery is set in a beautiful rural location with a quirky little taproom and peaceful outdoor spaces.

Cask at Pig's Ear. Near opaque dark brown beer, thin pale tan head. Light and fairly dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Tangy chocolate malts. Modest ripe fruits. A fairly dry finish. Tastes pretty good but the palate is a little flaccid and too dry for my taste.
