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?

Keg @ Rose & Crown, Kentish Town, London. Golden with a small head. Slightly dirty-hoppy with its aroma, but cleaner with its hop in taste. There’s a very small fruitiness that gets a little more stated in its nose. It’s light with its pale ale texture but fine.

Cask at Craft Islington. It pours clear gold with a tiny white head. The aroma is fresh, orange peel, tangerine, zesty, orange blossom and candied peel. The taste is clean and zesty upfront, but then quite muted and dull.... tangerine/clementine, sticky, graininess, straw and cereal with a short finish. Light+ body and low carbonation. Aroma is quite nice, but the taste is flat.
