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 CBC, London. Pours clear, slight red-gold with a flimsy, white foam head. Sharp grass, wood, citrus rind aroma. Medium sweet flavor, fairly well balanced with a big bitter bite, lots of wood, grass, toast, some grapes, fruit juice, light licorice. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly warm finish, dry bitterness, wood, toasty malts, grapefruit. Very nice. I would call this a British DIPA. Really good, and really different from the DIPAs I’m used to.

Cask at CBC, London. Pours black-brown with a bubble-foam, off-white head. Plenty of both espresso and filter coffee in the aroma, some bittersweet cocoa. Medium sweet flavor, tons of chocolatey and roasted malts, good espresso notes, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Espresso, mocha finish, slightly dry, some roasty sugar, lingering chocolate syrup and coffee. Quite an excellent beer.
