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?

Bottle 33 cl. Pours dark brown with a warm, clear reddish glow and a beige head. Very downplayed aroma, mostly sweet licorice and then....somewhat tart and lactic? Body is fairly light, sweet, not overly roasty and again I get a slightly tart sensation. Not sure if there’s a slight lactic infection rumbling down there? 260916

Slightly hazy amber beer, tropical fruit and hop aroma. There’s hoppiness and bitter grapefruit in the aftertaste but the main flavour is pretty mellow.
