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?

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Keg at Brewdog Shepard’s Bush. Clearing up the last of the tap takeover. Hazed deep redwood brown coloured pour with a lasting thin creamy head. Aroma is sharp lemon, brown bread, little mineral and a delicate floral character. Nose is strange for the colour of the beer. Flavour is nicely blended nutty / brown bready malts with citrus lemon hop. Hop comes across as a little soapy. Lingering brown malts, honey and a little oerfumme/ pollen character. Palate is medium light with a nice semi dry finish and highish carbonation. Pretty well put together beer.

Cask at CP&K. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The nose is fresh & fruity... grapefruit, orange rind and some soap. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, orange rind, grapefruit, mild soap, straw and a dash of pepper with a refreshingly dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp, bitter and rather drinkable. Mighty decent.

Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The nose is soft, smooth, honeyed grain and a touch of citrus fruits. The taste is crisp, bitter-sweet, smooth, mild honey, straw and hay with a dry finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Not a whole lot to this one. Inoffensive and easy drinking.
