About
The brewery started life in a 30 litre stock pot on a South London stove top, and since then we’ve been testing, learning, failing and, sometimes, winning in the relentless pursuit of creating quality beer. Now in 2021, we’ve made good on our name and gan yam’d back to Cumbria to set up our first brewhouse. Come and find us on the edge of our hometown, under the gentle gaze of Benson Knott.
