Description
We are an independent craft brewer specialised in brewing lager. Born in London in 1995, we have since moved to Abbots Bromley in rural Staffordshire. Relocating has allowed us to use a better quality of water direct from our very own private source. The move also provided us with the space we need to recycle all our waste water on site via a natural reed bed system. All the beers we brew are naturally carbonated, unpasteurised and vegan friendly. Our brewing process blends the use of modern technology and sophisticated equipment with the care and dedication of our experienced team of "hands on" brewers to ensure all our beers are well balanced and consistent in quality.

Keg at the Lansdowne, Leicester. Golden, clear and fizzy fizzy fizzy fizzy. A decent-sized loose white head. Light aroma of metal, hay, lime and a touch of vinegar, some corn, some vanilla. Despite the smell, it actually tastes quite good: sweet without being sickly with a punch of spicy grain. Some sourness just at the finish with soft citrus and cereal notes in the aftertaste. Carbonation looks heavier than it is, it isn't too harsh on the palate. It's not too interesting but it's better than a lot of widely-available keg lagers/pils.
