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.

Cask handpull at Evening Star, Brighton. Pale gold, thin white head. It’s an ok slightly ascetic blond ale with above average hop on the finish. Very drying. It’s decent if maybe a tad light on the malts for me.

Golden-straw. Toasty and a little bit caramelly. Toasty with an earthy, spicy hop character. Fruity and tasty - had this a few times.

Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 12/08/10. Clear gold in colour with a decent white head. Aroma of grassy hops and hay, with a touch of sweetness. Flavour had some fruit upfront, before a big bitter finish with a long after taste. Good.
