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.

Crisp citruses, tropical fruits and a crescendo of zesty peels in-mouth. Tangy citrus goes on to dominate the finish. Light to medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Can on the Central Scotland & Fife Push-Pull tour with 712 and friends, thanks to Neil S, 06/10/24. Hazed orange topped with an off white cap. Nose is orange zest, grass, citric tinged straw, melon. Taste comprises tangerine, grass, faint soap, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with light juicy come grassy hop bitterness. Okay but the light soapy notes brings this one down.
