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 @ the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a slight hop haze. Nice head. Nose - loads of resin, fresh sweat, grassiness and citrus buried in there too. Taste - herbs and citrus. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - a good example of the style.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s. It pours deep mahogany brown with a small yellow - white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toffee, orange peel, fruit cake, brown bread and chewy malt. The taste is bitter, toasted brown bread, cereal, fruit cake, pine needles, ashy char and burnt toasted wood with a drying wood finish. Medium body and average carbonation. A bit woody perhaps, but overall decent.
