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?

Tap. Shakespeares, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Big, foamy, lasting, white head. Nose has pungent, juicy hop. Notes of peach. Passion fruit. Some spritzy lemon. Taste is moderately bitter, with a soft sweetness. Clean, drying palate. Bitterness rises on the finish. Very drinkable juicy number that belies it’s ABV.

On cask in London. Smooth hoppy piney beginning. Fresh but a bit grainy body. Smooth and round, fresh floralness over a smooth and ale-typical body. Easy to drink. Nice floral pale ale aftertaste. Nice.
