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.

Gravity dispense at the Miners’ Arms Summer Beer Festival, St Werburgh’s Bristol 6/8/07. Amber coloured with a minimal head. Aroma was of red fruit with some grassy hops. Flavour started with some fruity malt before a bitter finish kicked in. Ok.

Gravity dispense at the Miners’ Arms Summer Beer Festival, St Werburgh’s Bristol 6/8/07. Copper coloured with a minimal head. Grassy hop and orange hop aroma. Flavour of citrus hops and some fruity malt, with a decent bitter finish. A very good session beer.

Cask-conditioned at what is effectively the brewery tap, the Old Tavern, Bristol 12/6/07. Dark brown beer with reddish tones, there was a slight white head which left plenty of lacing. At first sight I thought this might be a sweet HSB clone, but I was proved wrong.The aroma was of red fruit with a slight whiff of caramel. The flavours were of dark chocolate and more red fruit with a short bitter finish. A good, distinctive effort from a new brewer.
