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?

330 ml bottle. Golden/orange body with a big, lasting off-white head. Aroma is mild, ripe fruit and a bit spicy. Flavor is sweet malt, light caramel, dry fruit, spicy and OK bitterness. Fine balanced body and decent aftertaste. Nothing mind blowing, but a solid, traditional ale.

Bottle from Ship in a Bottle, West Kirby. Amber pour crowned with a lingering mid range off-white head. Nose had some promising grapefruit and grassy hops. Similar, sweetish flavour with more citrus/tropical fruits and floral hoppage. Solid lingering bitterness in the finish. Decent offering, would love to try fresh and on keg.
