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?

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Barman kindly warned me about this one and gave me a sample. Very hazy gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent carbonation. Nose of sulphur! Some citric hop is overwhelmed by skewed sour floralness. Light finish. So glad I didn’t order a full glass, pretty poor, hope it is just a bad keg from this normally reliable brewery.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s - London. Pours clearish amber-gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds ripening citrus fruits, crusty pale bread, pine. Light sweet flavour with more semi-ripe citrus character, mellow piney bitterness, some flinty dryness, lightly toasted pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Good balance in the finish, with more piney bitterness, licks of grass, melon, orange rind. Good stuff.
