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.

330ml draft into a bottle from lowcostbeer. Hazy orange-gold, one finger of creamy looking off-white head, heavy carbonation up the glass, looks an excellent pale. Malty and grainy with citrus hoppy notes, slight earthiness on nose. Smooth tasting, with the malts coming through giving a mild grainy note before hoppy citrus and soft fruity notes come in - if I were to guess would say close to lemon, apricot, mango and grapefruit. Moderate smooth body and soft carbonation. A very good pale.
