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.

Pour at Beeropolis. Clear golden, skin of head. Dry, dusty, malty aroma, white bread. Taste is more bready malts culminating in a dry, mouth coating finish. Less than remarkable .
