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 at Mother Kelly’s - Bethnal Green, London. Pours clear gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Dank hops in the nose, with nice juicy citrus, pithy grapefruit, mango, melon. Light to medium sweet flavour, with lots of vibrant, juicy citrus character, plenty of tangerine, orange, also tropical elements, mango, papaya, mellow piney bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, with balancing pale bread sweetness, loads more juicy and lightly dank hops. Really fresh and expressive. This is the kind of beer I could drink forever. Awesome.

Keg @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Glowing pale golden ale with a thin head. Crisp, with an ale texture, but more steady lager malt taste. Fruity in its nose.

Almost clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, mildly sweet. Mild hop skunk introduces good gooseberry - grape Nelson. Dry floralness before a light semi dry grapey finish. Nice one.
