Description
Our current kit can produce up to 20 brewer’s barrels, depending on the beer and how heavily hopped it is. We have 10 fermentation vessels, with the most recent additions being oversized to allow double brews of our more popular beers. Having started as a one-man operation, the business has slowly expanded to the current team of eight as demand, production, brew house and premises size have increased.

We put a premium on quality and consistency, which means monitoring the beer at every stage of the brewing process and beyond. Much of our equipment, i.e. our keg washing & filling machine and our bottling machine, were chosen with this in mind.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thinnish but smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Hops deliver crisp pine into a nice bright Azacca lemon tinged orange and mandarin. Mild candy fruits from modern Mosaic and a light but pleasing pineapple from Simcoe on the very end, something Simcoe never used to deliver but, is now almost diagnostic! Nice light drinkable apa from the ever reliable Arbor.
