Description
We are a 8bbl microbrewery based just outside of Perranporth on the North Cornwall coast. We concentrate on creating small batches of the beers we want to drink using the best ingredients around. We use the best British floor malted barley and our favorite hops from around the world along with Cornish water and our little yeasty helpers to brew tasty beers. We do everything by hand from mashing in to bottling, this means we are able to brew what we want when we want from Imperial I.P.A. to Saisons, it also means we can serve the beers in the most appropriate ways, be that cask, keg or bottles. All our beers are unfiltered and unpasteurized we don't spend time adding flavor to our beers just to filter it out.
