Description
Dan and Chris had spent 4 months prior to our launch at Craft Beer Rising looking for a site in almost every corner of London but it became quite obvious, quite quickly, that with the money that we had we weren’t going to be able to do things the traditional way. We couldn’t set up with the right size kit and the right size facility. So with no brewer, no permanent facility and a launch at craft beer rising 2014 around the corner, whilst not initially the plan, we hung our hat on being ‘Hobo’ brewers. Some people call it cuckoo brewing, some people call it gypsy brewing, some people call it contract brewing, some people call it nomad brewing. We prefer the term hobo brewers but whatever you want to call it… its what we do.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small head. Mainly hoppy and fruity, but there’s an underlying toffee behind this, also in its nose, and aftertaste. Feels stronger tasting than it is.

Bottle from the (sadly recently closed and much lamented) East Town Bottle Shop & Tap Room, Ipswich. Pours a hazy pale gold with a small off white head. Lovely aroma of light fresh hop and fruit. Light sweetness, heavy bitterness. Body a bit thin. Lasting bitterness to finish.
