About
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.

Taste comprises mango flesh, orange peel, pine nip, citric tinged straw, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy hop bitterness. Decent.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear deep brown with a creamy, mocha topping. Light-medium sweet flavour with a lovely, lightly milky coffee character, subtle chocolate notes, a little roast. Light bodied with fine carbonation and velvety texture. Semi-sweet finish, more chocolate accents, coffee, a little earth. Mighty tasty.

568ml can from Pat's News in Redfield, Bristol. Golden colour, with a thin white head. A steady tartness flowed throughout this beer, creating a refreshing impression. There was a touch of citrus character, with an slightly savoury earthiness, which was probably the rhubarb. Good.

Can. Hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, light as a cloud, a light creamy sweetness. The trio of modern hops bring a light crisp pine along with juicy Talus peachy citrus along with light zesty Azacca lemon and mandarin. Idaho 7 takes a bit of a backseat, but still comes through with a mild tropical fruits vibe. Airy crisp and semi dry finish. Whisper of hop skunk in the background. An assured pale ale from Arbor, delivers bags of hop character but with a light abv. Very good job, could drink this all night and might even have a chance of not talking shit at the end of it!
