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?

A colablack, a head is very big and beige. Aroma has roastiness and black coffeem some liquirice and sourness. Taste has coffee, strong roastiness, some liquirice. Medium bodied, not so much of carbonation that could be expected from the big head. Good but quite simple.

Bottle, Ship in a Bottle, West Kirby. Hazy orange pour with s slim white head. Excellent pineapple, passion fruit and mango snout. Flavour unfolded accordingly with more excellent fruit and some well balanced hop bitterness. Some superb boozy fruit punch on offer here. Right up my street, and the best I’ve tasted yet from this crew. More please !!!

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Opened without a noise. Murky orange. No head. Smells like Lilt strained through a sweaty sock. But not necessarily in a bad way. Taste has a light tartness, to the tune that I thought it might be a rogue bottle, until I read some of the reviews below. Anyhoo, it’s nice and juicy. A bit wrong, maybe. Still manages to just about come together. Potentially a stunner...

Half pint, cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden. Near clear golden body. Bubbly ring on the rim of the glass. Lemony hops on the nose. Taste of ripe citrus added by a bite of apricot. Semi-dry ending. A little thin bodied in the mouth. Okay (London 11.07.2015).

Bottle. Mr. Pickle, Sheffield. Murky, reddy brown. Bit of off white froth for a head. Spicy, jammy biscuit malts. A little toasty. Good level of spicy, juicy hop. Piny notes. A little earthy. Smells great. Taste is moderate to full, juicy bitter. Nice sweetness on the lips. Soft carbonation and fullish mouthfeel. Finishes juicy, spicy, lengthy bitter.

Bottle. An almost clear one, golden in color and with a dense, off-white head of two-finger size. Lacings. The aroma is fruity and grassy, with some pine cones and a touch of alcohol. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a soft carbonation and a warming touch. Fruity, grassy and lightly grainy flavor with some bitterness and alcohol. Lasting fruity finish. Not very interesting this one, too alcoholic, but else quite decent and drinkable. 150724
