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?

Keg @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Dark reddish-brown with a thin head. Has a fullish tropical fruit aroma and taste with some darker malts involved too. Strong but not overbearing.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Hazy golden body with a medium off-white head. Stready carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of peanuts, salted cheese and sweet chilli crisps. Flavour of lemon, passionfruit and yeast. Thin body with a light, oily texture. Soft fizz. I was quite excited to try this but it doesnโ€™t quite hit the spot for me.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with a dark copperish glimmer and small, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Chocolately, dark malty aroma, some roast. Taste is roasty and chocolately dark malty, minimally tart-ish hints of lactic acid.

Bottle from Appellation Wines Comely Bank. Appearance - golden with a lovely fluffy head. Nose - lightly funky, then passionfruit. It develops into oranges. Taste - tangy orange going into apricot. A little fresh sweat but not unpleasant. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - complex and tasty. The style should probably be Belgian Ale.
