We are proud to be a proper, independent, traditional micro-brewery. We’re a small team (currently ten and a half people!) and we’re involved in every aspect of running a busy brewery, we all get our hands dirty helping out in racking, delivering, filling the vans, cleaning, loading the spent grain for our local farmer Dickie to feed his cattle…you’d be surprised at what a normal day involves!

[i] [b] Cask at The Hop Pole pubs Easter Beer Festival, Aylesbury in the company of Loz, Chris O, Ruth, Barry, Lynn 21-03-08 [/i] [/b]Light amber pour with a slight haze, thin white head. Good solid body to this beer, at first I thought where are the hops but they were there and came flooding through on a layer of sweetness. Aroma is light and hoppy. Myabe this is a bit honey sweet at times but the alcohol was pretty well masked and overall I rather enjoyed this though think a few more hops wouldn’t go amiss.

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Gold with slight haze. Lasting beige head. Probably not quite ready yet. A little muddy in mouth, good bitter hop on end. Bit of butter on aroma. Very good bittering hop though. Muddy earthy in mouth, give it half a day and it’ll be much better.
