Description
Since our inception on a commercial scale in 2008 we have evolved as a brewery immeasurably.
The Brewery has moved up several gears in the past 12 months & is now growing at an alarming rate!
We as a team have grown with the brewery. Started in 2008 with Directors James Farran, Andy Baker & Meyrick Kirk the brewery now has a fulltime drayman, a head brewer, a managing director & soon to be further additions to the team.
We are a brewery with an extreme passion & a strong identity, our beers are unapologetically flavour forward in nature, hop & malt laden beers that challenge today's modern beer lover. Beers with heart, soul & raging personality.
In the coming years we plan to continue to grow by fervently pushing the boundaries of what is possible when brewing beer, to excite you the deserving beer connoisseur who should settle for nothing less than than beers that excite & ensare your senses. We invest heavily in our beers with LOTS of the very best ingredients, why settle for beers that don't?

Cask at Bishops Folkungagatan. A bitter brew with modern pacific hops, fruity citrus, some resin and pine needles. Smooth and big bodied, almoast enough to balance all the bitterness...

Draught @ Akkurat. Pours cloudy with a creamy white head. Hoppy! Grapey, piney... red orange. Long almost medicinal bitterness in the aftertaste. A touch of caramel. This must be one of the most bitter beers I’ve tried from britain.

Aroma: Rich fruits and dark chocolate.
Appearance: Jet black body with a thin tan head that quickly disappears. Great lacing.
Taste: Rich, dark fruit flavours but a surprising lightness to the beer. The 7.5% ABV is well hidden.
Palate: Slick, oily mouthfeel. Thin to medium body. Average carbonation.
Overall: Considering its ABV, this is a light, fruity beer. Very tasty.

Aroma: Lime, faint lychee, honey and bread.
Appearance: Hazy golden body with a lasting pure white head. Medium carbonation and excellent lacing.
Taste: Soft malty flavours. Flavours of grass, caramel and honey. Quite boozy.
Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Lively carbonation.
Overall: Tastes quite heavy for its 5.5% ABV, but this is a tasty, moreish American Pale Ale.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Cloudy copper colour, small head. Rich aroma of mango, blue cheese and coffee. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Blueberries, salty licorice and caramel. Solid with concentrated, big hoppy flavours and really bitter finish.

Cask. Deep brown colour with a small beige foamy head. Aroma is mild roasted malts along with raisins, some berries, rye bread and mild chocolaty notes. Flavour is sweet and roasted malts along with chocolate, some raisins, mild ripe fruits and some berryish notes. Rather good body for being only 3.7 %.
