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?

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, dark orange. Film of sticky, white head. Aroma of bitter chocolate orange. Fair bit of spicy hop. Taste is very sweet, turning full on bitter. Oily palate. Very punchy. Finishes long, full on, spicy bitter. I do get it. But I don’t care for it. It’s a bit at odds, for me.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Pale golden-blonde with a creamy head. Feels lightly hopped and certainly nothing like its strength in taste and it could pass a session ale, certainly with its smoothish mouthfeel. Hopped in its aroma with a small citrus fruitiness to the ale.

Bottle at home, after garden chores - big thanks to the Wingman for picking this up for me, 30/05/15. Rich mahogany brown with a well appointed beige covering that retains well. Nose is pine, Ribena berry, charr, earthy hops, liquorice, light spice. Taste comprises sticky red berries, light spice, pine resin, charr, dark malt, earthy hops, more liquorice, Ribena berry. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Solid XDA - ticks all the boxes well.
