Description
Producing beer using left over bread rather than fresh barley.

We work in partnership with exceptional breweries, using their brewery but under our own license and using our own ingredients and recipes, and brewed by our in-house brewer, Stuart.

Moved to own brewery in Milton Keynes, dur8ng 2024.

In the UK, our beers are brewed at SEB in Broadstairs.

We've previously worked with Hepworth Brewery in Sussex, Wold Top Brewery and Hambleton Ales in Yorkshire, and with Hackney Brewery in London. Each time we've moved, it's been to allow us to scale up production.

330ml bottle. Clear, dark amber colour with small, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Fruity yeasty, minimally phenolic aroma, hints of apricot and peach, doughy and spicy background with a cautious marmite touch. Taste is spicy and minimally fruity yeasty, a touch of marmite, rotten yellow stone fruit. Noble request, not so good beer.

Bottle at home, 18/06/17. Clear golden orange with a decent off white head of bubbles. Nose is sweet malts, pear drop, orange peel, like a sweet tripel without the boost, breaded notes. Taste comprises bitter sweet orange vibes, bread dough, toasted grains, melon, light spice, grassy notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with slightly astringent hop bitterness. I admire the bread recycling thing but I won’t be rivisiting this beer ... maybe this formula will work better in their lagers? Overall this one lacks hop presence and drinkabilty .... liberated most to the sink as, whilst it wasn’t a complete stinker, I’m not taking on calories for average at best.

330ml bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell. A bright pale amber pour with a loose white head and heavy carbonation; grapefruit aroma; bready taste, with a crisp citrusy bitterness; and a long bitter finish. Rather good.

Flaske 330ml - #019 - fra Sourced Market. Delt med Rune på tog mellom London og Newton Abbot 26 Mar 17. Gyldengul. Lavt skum som raskt blir til film. Aroma av smørmalt. Smaken det samme. Kjedelig.

Pours a deep golden colour with a medium sized white head. A sweet honey, orange peel and bread aroma. An oily texture, bread and honey, sweet with an orange zest bitterness but the finish is a bit watery. Average.

Bottled 330ml (AbM)
Slightly hazy orange color, medium-sized white head. Aroma has light citrus and maltyness. Light-bodied. Citrus, rye, floral notes, fruityness. Sticky bitterness leading to a bit watery finish. Hoppy and kind of ryeish. Ok.

330ml bottle, batch 019, from Sourced Market, St Pancras, evening session with Finn on a Great Western train towards Devon. Patch layer, clingy lacing, clear amber coloured body. Grainy malts and dried fruits on the nose. Oily hops and buttery malts to the taste buds. Modest bittersweet endnotes. Satisfying (26.04.2017).

Bottle at Tap Social Movement, Botley, Oxford, Saturday 4th March 2017 in the company of John, Ian, Glen and John Campbell. Copper in colour with a white head, good clarity. Quite simple tasting, a little fruity, I’m not getting any toast but am getting some maltiness, it’s pretty enjoyable. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4
