About
Since 1985, we have been producing the very best cask, keg and bottled beers, using the finest ingredients, while at the same time supporting the Great British institution that is fondly known as the 'pub'.
Our reputation for consistent excellence in product quality and customer service is the reason our beers are served in more than 1,200 pubs and bars throughout the West Midlands and South Wales. In fact, we've gone from a humbling beginning of producing approximately 10 brewers' barrels a week to an average of 800 barrels per week - that's more than 12 million pints per year!

Keg at Sanzibar, Sedgley. Darkest brown ans glossy. Thick foamy white head with decent lacing. Aroma has creamy coffee with a sour streak. Flavourwise it's surprising sour - tart - sour spur coffee (plus bitternes). Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. OK. Not at it's best? And also more of a Mild?

Clear pale gold with a frothy white head and a soft fruity aroma. Sweet citrus up front, some light malt, floral notes, a touch of bitterness and a dry finish.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#47. A second beer in Birmingham on the way home. Clear light golden and light session textured too. This is a plain hoppy-sweetish brew.

500ml bottle from Anthony's of Wellington. Poured into a Batemans UK pint sleeve glass at home on 1st February 2026. Clean and clear golden body, snow white crown. Slight honey sweetness in the make up of this, not too strong, but you pick it up straight away (helps with it saying it's a honey beer of course). Not a huge fan of honeyed beers, but this is fine, it's the Belgian ones I struggle with for some reason.

Two hand pulled pints at The, Leighton (Shropshire) on 22nd November 2025. Second stop on a CAMRA Mini Bus Pub Crawl. Deep red hue to the body, off white crown. Very malty with a decent bitterness, may be some Rye in there, certainly had that aroma of wet Rye. Liked it (hence two pints).

Copper brown with a frothy / creamy white head and a leafy, malty aroma. Fresh, sweet and malty with some floral hops, a little kick of bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish.
