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?

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy with decent fine carbonation. Soft and light pale malts, quite delicate! Light creamy sweetness. Mild lemon cream, pine and a touch of herb. Little orange peel and fresh orange. Smooth lemon creamy finish. Very smooth indeed, could drink this all night. Genuinely feel sorry for people who don’t like Sorachi Ace, such a wonderful stand out hop.

Nice tropical fruit vibe. Xolid.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Darker golden-brown, clear, with a glow and a frothy head. Includes a mix of dark malts and roasted malts that are stated enough in this relatively easy drinking mild. There’s a very mild nuttiness in here too.

Keg @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small creamy head. Fruity, some candy sweetness, and feels stronger than it perhaps should at its strength. Has a dryness and lots of tropical fruit aromas.

Draft at Craft 100 Spring 2016 - Craft Beer Co. Clapham, London. Pours clearish gold with a light, creamy white head. The aroma holds citrus, pale grains and minerals. Light sweet flavour with a bit of dried pale malt, lemon rind, hay, grain. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced on the finish, with more citrus rind, pale bread. Good one.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s. It pours hazy gold with medium white head. The aroma is rich, oily, orange sponge cake, tangerine, cointreau, piss, white bread and cake. The taste is smooth, minerals, oily orange, tangerine, grass, creaminess, white bread, muffin and light spice with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Easy drinking stuff. Alcohol is not so obvious. Not bad.
