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?

Cask@The Vanbrugh Beer Festival, Tones Birthday, Maze Hill, London (06/06/2015) - golden coloured pour with white head. Aroma and taste is a mix of tropical and citrus fruits, pale malts, some light caramel sweetness, grapefruit, peachy, lemon, hoppy bitter finish. Great stuff.

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm, 24 July 2012) Black colour with lasting, frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, liquorice, pine needles and dried fruit. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, liquorice, dark rye bread, ashes, pine needles, dried fruit, hints of yeast and an intense piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Solid and well made black IPA, with an impressive bitterness and a spicy Belgian touch. Very nice.

33 cl bottle @ Sankt Hans Tasting, Ulfborg. Aroma has homemade mead, sweetness and citrus. Also some sugary tones. Flavour has soapy citrus, sugary tones and some homemade mead. Sweet and sugary all the way. Could be refreshing as very cold though. A total disappointment from this brewery.
