Description
We are a small blendery operation located at The Grainworks in Hertfordshire, UK. Our focus is on producing 100% spontaneously fermented beers aged in traditional vessels such as oak barrels.

The aim is to source our ingredients as close to the Blendery as possible. We work with farmers and growers directly, and promote their amazing produce through our beers, our website and social media.

Our work is seasonal. We brew in the cold months and fruit in the warm. Each beer we make is of that year. It is of that season and it cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Jan 22. Thanks Mark for this. Pours a misty golden orange with small white head. Wheat presence seems to introduce a gentle saison like feel in the body and taste. Nice wild tang with soft funk and a distant fruitiness. Excellent depth and complexity, no element out of place. Fascinating beer and great introduction to this brewery.
