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.

Bottle at Chriso pre-GBBF tasting 09. Clear amber, lasting beige head. Spice. Tastes like Xmas cake but not in a good way. Too apple clove, too brown sugar. Nasty.

Bottled@Monks Café, Stockholm. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is malts, hops and some slight grainy notes. Flavour is very much the same with some bigtime earthy notes. Didn’t see the bottle for a BBE, but tasted a bit like it might have passed it’s prime.
