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. Smooth sweetish beginning. Fresh and easy to drink, smooth. Hints of roast, not to deep body - especially for the 6%. Smooth malty sweetish aftertaste. Nice but no depth.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours unclear orange-gold with a creamy-frothy white head. Extremely dank aroma, reminiscent of pot, but the intensity fades away pretty quickly and you’re left with pale bread, lemon rind, melon, grapefruit. Light to medium sweet flavor with biscuity pale malts, tangerine, grapefruit, apricot, pale bread, bitter pine needles, hay. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Faint resins in the finish, some sun-kissed pale bread, orange rind, husky grains, lemon peel, grapefruit pith, peach. A good IPA. Quite drinkable.
