Description
The Bullfinch Brewery was first set up in the kitchen of former travelling sound engineer, beer enthusiast and home brewer Ryan Mclean.
Ryan's travels have ignited a passion and love for great beer. His continuing commitment to the quality of beer and his enthusiasm have created Bullfinch Brewery and its contemporary take on craft beer here in the UK.
Ryan has been brewing professionally since 2014 and is making progressive beers that blend experimental ideas with traditional brewing methods and techniques.
Hidden away under a railway arch in South East London Ryan can be found brewing his modern ideas on a much loved and used, historic 5 Barrel kit originally built by Charles Wells.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Kenny. Pours deep brown with a small, foamy tan head. The nose holds dried berries, ashy roast. Meidum sweet flavour with strong ashy roast, leathery berries, minerals. Medium to full bodied, oily, with soft carbonation. Warm finish with ashy bitterness, jammy ripe berries. A little clunky, but not bad.
