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 gravity at Chelmsford BF 2011. Pale orange gold thin white head. Some cheesey hop on aroma. Bit of smoke. Just all over the place with the ingredients. Hops over a watery golden ale. Not balanced as usual

Rating number 666, (cue evil laughter and thunder and lightning crashing all around me and a spot of Bach on the on the ornate Gothic organ). Very apt beer to for the evil rating. Anyway, this was tasted at the NWAF, Manchester. Bright yellow pour with a white head. Aromas of tangerine, tropical fruit, lemon zest. Lots and lots of fruit. Sharp hop kick. Citrus and herbs. Fruit laden mouthfeel. Refreshing. Wonderful stuff!

Cask, handpump at The Babbington, JDW, Derby, Derbyshire 06.11.10 I hope that I got the correct brew noted here, I didn’t take so much notice of that. Really driven by grapefruit, good pulpiness, juicy citrus, very fruity, lovely flavours. Mid gold in colour with a white head. This has a good bitter bite, good depth of flavour, it’s a punchy tidy beer that isn’t too sweet. I like this. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6
