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.

Creamy off white head left a spotty cover on a hazy vivid golden coloured body. Orange & sweet aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a sharp back. Orange, chalky, white wine & nectarine tastes with a peppery finish. Nice one.

568ml can from Redland Stores, Bristol. Golden in colour and cloudy, with a small but tight, off-white, head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of juicy pineapple, tangerine and strawberry fruit, with some dense pine and grassy hop. Flavour had a herbal edge, with lots more citrus fruit, sweetish malts leading to a dry, prickly, finish. Very good.
