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, Bell Inn, Caerleon. Dark amber with a smallish off-white head. Aroma was largely malt dominated as was the flavour . Vague fruity notes. Tolerable but pretty drab. Better off with the cider at this venue. Food good too.
