Description
At present there are five of us working at the brewery – Luke and Stuart who assist with deliveries and the cleaning and filling of casks. In the office, there’s Julia AKA Fuzzy, who doubles as Droxford’s famous lollipop lady. She keeps all the paperwork in good order which is a good thing because this was a weakness of ours. The Bowman family is of course completed by Ray and myself.

Our beers have evolved over the years into three really popular regular brews and each month we have a 4.5% special on too.

Cask at the Bell Hotel, Alresford. Bright amber with a scummy white head; plain malty aroma; simple, sweet and malty flavour; then lightly bitter with a biscuity finish. Good for a quick quaff, but nothing more.
