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 air pressure at Euston Tap. Black beer thick lasting dark beige head. Very strong espresso coffee. I mean strong smooth instant coffee actually. Bit like choc cake in the coffee flavour rather than real coffee. Full in the mouth and really good condition. Slips down nicely with a touch of harsh roasted coffee on the finish. Coffee does not quite work.

Cask gravity at Mason & Taylor Hip Hop BF. Very dark brown no head. Some toffee comes through and some hop. Tasty enough but not great condition and the hops are bitter but not particularly flavoursome. After so many good beers a little disappointing but very decent hop on finish if a little oily metal. Ok though

Cask at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 11.04.11 There is a good coffee nose on this as you might expect, the colour of this is black with a beige head. Roasty and very coffee in the mouth with a distinct hoppiness weaving its way through. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Half pint, cask at CASK Pub & Kitchen. Patchy, tan coloured head to a deep, dark body appearance. Smell of dark fruits and coffee-like malts. Well balanced flavour including dark fruits, leafy hops, dark sweet malts and brown sugar offset by a nice bitter ending. A good one as the last drink in London this time, 22.03.2011.

Almost opaque brown color, steady brown head. Aroma of licorice and hops. Light to medium bodied. Licorice, toasted malts, perhaps some toffee then hops. Aftertaste has lingering hops and coffee. Good one.

Dark brown color, steady beige head. Chocolaty-cocoa nose with some caramel and hops. Very hoppy front (for mild). Caramel, chocolate, toasted malts in the flavor. Lingering bitterness with roasted notes in the aftertaste. Excellent mild!

On cask at CP&K. It pours a dark ruby brown colour with a thick beige head. The nose is chlorine, caramel, clove, liquorice and charcoal. It tastes of caramel, burnt sugar, liquorice, coffee, charcoal and sesame seed, with a dry finish. All round it is pretty interesting beer.
