Description
The brewery started in 2012 although Charlie Rawlings has been brewing for many years prior to that, when he was involved in agricultural contracting. The 7 barrel plant was made by Charlie himself (converted from food industry vessels), as was the cask washer. The cask storage cooler is a converted supermarket van - again Charlie's innovation. The spent grains from the mash tun have the shortest air miles to all of 100 yards to Charlie's Lincoln Reds in the adjacent field.

Cask handpump at The Ostrich Inn, Peterborough, Friday 9th January 2015 on Whittlesey Straw Bear weekend (we stopped at Peterborough Central Travelodge) Pours golden with filmy head, wonderful crisp, zippy, bitter hoppy beer. Really suprised by this, I had no knowledge of the brewery at all but this is a bloody great golden beer, which interestingly is much better than Oakham JHB that Loz and Ferret on and that itself is very good.
