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.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma is citrus fruits, malty and hints of grass. Taste is of lemon and lime with a dry bitter finish. This was very nice.

Another beer at the St Albans replacement crawl. Aroma of roasted malts, berries, liquorice and coffee. Good body, fruity and sticky finish. Really nice.

Can.
A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that doesn't last at all. Light palate, a very mild dryness. Good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a light and slightly thin creamy sweetness. Obvious modern Mosaic, candy fruits, whisper of blueberry if you are looking for it. Nice piney broad spectrum citrus and tropical fruits from Idaho 7. Bright citrus orange and mandarin in the foreground, touch of pineapple. Crisp hop fruity finish, plenty of cooling pine. Yeah - refreshing and well hopped IPA. Cheers Arbor and cheers to Brewver!
