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?

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - amber red with a nice fluffy head. Looks perfect. Nose - redcurrants and oranges. Sweet malt. Taste - tonnes more of the same. It favours red and orange fruit at different points. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long elegant finish. Overall - what a lovely beer. Go the red ales!

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a slight haze and a nice head. Nose - citrus and sweat. Some plant stalks. Taste - more of the same. Didn’t expect to taste the sweat. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - decent though not that amazing for one of the UK’s top brewers.

Keg at Cloisters. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of lemon, lime, grapefruit. Taste is a citrus party in my mouth. This beer is like my ideal partner - cold, bitter, and a little bit gassy.
