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.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy opaque amber with a small off-white head. Fruity and phenollic nose, with quite some booze coming through. Solid body, close to flat, plums and overripe fruit with quite some warming alcohol in the finish. Not overly complex, but enjoyable none the less. 030312

Cask at CP&K. It pours deep amber, with a decent beige head. The nose is wood, resin, leather, leaf and resin. The taste is resinous hops, pine, leaf, leather, caramel, toffee, gingerbread and alcohol warmth in the finish. Full body, soft carbonation and thick, oily mouth-feel. A delicious hoppy barley wine.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 18/02/2012. Deep gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of summer fruits, grassy hops and sweetish malts. Flavour had some fruit and solid malts, before a big, lingering bitter finish. Enjoyable.
