Description
We're a Jersey company run by two locals who love our island, a good adventure and a good beer! Our aim is to brew some damn fine beers and spread the joy!

At first, we were pretty much just selling home-brew to a few eager (and maybe slightly too trustworthy) friends, and people we knew with businesses of their own; restaurants, shops and pubs.

That was all on a 100 litre brew kit which was, for all intensive purposes, some very large kitchen pots! Still, in February of 2018 it was enough to launch our first batch of beer, the now iconic Stinky Bay Session IPA, at a beer festival up at Jersey Rugby Club. It went down awesomely, there was a queue of people at the door as it opened, who all made a bee-line for our bar, to try what the first micro-brewery to open up in decades had to offer.

Since then, we've upgraded just a little... and now our brew system is able to produce 800 litres of malty goodness per day. We don't brew everyday though, it rather depends on the how good the weather is! This means we are producing 30,000+ litres a year; that's enough for 1/4 of everyone in Jersey to have a pint of Stinky Bay!

330ml can. Pale gold with a slight haze, white head. Aroma of pale malts, caramel, citrusy and floral hops. Taste is semi-sweet, pale malts and caramel, citrusy hops, lemon, light tropical, light bitterness but finishing a tad sweet. Quite decent actually.

330ml bottle thanks to my Mum. Crystal clear orange with a white head. Aroma of sweet malts and fruity hops. Taste of sweet tropical fruits, malts, caramel, piney resin, light bitterness. Not bad but I really don't see how they can call this a NEIPA, felt it was almost west coast leaning in fact. Anyway not bad but not what I expected or what was described.
