Established in 2011 and commenced in 2013 brewing using Kemptown Brewery equipment. We moved to our own premises in Brighton in early 2015. We love cask beer and recognise its importance within UK beer culture. We respect the historic importance of German and Belgian brewers. We embrace the attitude, ingredients and flavour profiles of modern progressive beer styles and breweries from North America and beyond.

Cask handpull at Nelson Arms Tonbridge . Clear pale brown colour lasting cream head. Malty fruity bitter. Reminds me of the raspberry you used to get on Old Speckled Hen when it was independent. A little mineral. A little light on carbonation. Swan necks may not help. Moderate bitterness on the finish.

Cask @ Tap & Can. Clear golden yellow appearance, small white head. Nondescript aroma. Flavour profile is quite mild, with subtle malt shades. Expected it to resemble wheatabix, which it doesn't. Not a lot to latch onto here. Forgettable cask.

On cask at Brighton Bierhaus, pours a clear blonde, no head. Aroma brings out soft, British bready malt and bitter floral hops. Flavour is floral and bitter, with a nicer bittering hop character and British bready malt base. Nicely bittering, but a bit of undesirable astringency. Pleasant enough.

On tap at Brighton Bierhaus, pours A clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright piney hops, traces of diacetyl, and toasted biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp, with bitter piney hops, toasted biscuity malt, and the smallest traces of diacetyl that wouldn't bother most but it does me. The hop character is nice; if they could just refine this slightly, it'd be a pretty good example of the style.
