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?

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with a tiny, rough white head. Almost astringent hoppy nose with some biscuity accents - indeed very American. Medium body, flat - something must be wrong here. Sweet caramel and fruits with a very subdued bitterness. 180110

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. Doesn’t matter what you tell some people, I told them not to buy this. Like tasting an armpit. Horrible. Gold colour. Tinny metiallic finish with sweat.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear BF 09. After having the Holmfirth IPA at the Market Porter I warned people not to buy this, but they didn’t listen. Pale gold, thin white head. Rubbish, but hoppy rubbish. I mean it’s like the brewer has got the ingredients of a beer what doesn’t know how to turn it into the finished product.
