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.

Bottled. Quite close to pitch black colour (very deep rubyish black) with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is caramel, mild toast, some chocolate cookies and mild "crackers". Flavour is mild ripe fruits, some toast, caramel and mild raisins as well. A bit thin in the body, but still quite much aroma and flavour to it.
