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 ale, half pint, shared with Cunningham at the Ale House in Chelmsford. Pearl white tophead to a clear golden body. Good lacing. Pale malty nose, citric hints. Sweet fruity flavours, some impact of mango and peaches, together with grain. More sweet than bitter to the ending. Satisfying (19.02.2017).

(Draught at Mother Kelly’s, Bethnal Green, London, 25 Nov 2016) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, slightly herbal nose with notes of dried fruit, apricots, grass and herbs (nettles?). Malty, slightly fruity taste with cereal, apricots, grass and a balanced grassy, herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. A bit odd, but tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - bright golden with a nice lacy head. Nose - deep orange shred and apricot. Really pungent though, light sweat almost going into ammonia. Taste - much fresher than nose. Tangy orange and dried peel. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - intensely tangy sums it up. The nose is pretty challenging though.
