Description
Established in 2005 and bottling since 2008. Headed by Phil and brewed by Rob, we’re a small team brewing a wide range of beers in cask, keg, bottle and can. Along with a core offering we also have seasonal brews and a one off brew range called ‘New Tricks’. Experimental recipes are run through our small batch kit before trying them out on the main kit and releasing them to the masses. Some of these have proved so popular that they’ve graduated to our core range.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Bitton Beer Festival 3/5/2017. Deep amber in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. An easy drinking bitter, with sweetish malts, a hint of caramel, touch of citrus fruit and moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Bitton Beer Festival 3/6/2017. Pale gold in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Aroma of grapefruit and oranges, with some leafy hops. Flavour had more citrus fruit, with a slightly sharp edge, biscuity malts and a dryish finish. Fine.

Cask as Vog Speakeasy 4.6 % abv at Small Bar Cardiff. Bubbly white head, dotted spots, near-clear golden-brown body. Aroma of herbal hops and grain.. The taste profile brigs moments of ripe fruits, caramel and bread.Bittersweet endnotes. Quite well balanced and pretty alright. (02.05.2017).

Cask as Vog South Island, shared with Finn at City Arms. Crocheted lacing from a diminishing white head. Misty yellow coloured body. Moderate aroma of pineapple. Mid-dry fruity flavours, hints of lemon, pineapple and minerals. Restrained bitter fruity endnotes. Satisfying. (Cardiff 02.05.2017).

Handpull cask from the Queen Edith, Cambridge. Very dark brown, impenetrable with a creamy khaki head. Chocolate malt, milky coffee, black raspberry in the aroma. Sweet and surprisingly hoppy turning sour and bitter toward the finish. Forest fruits and liquorice notes in the aftertaste. Starts out well but it’s messy on the finish.
