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.

Whose Lime Is It Anyway? from Arbor Ales

440ml can. Deep and cloudy gold, with a tight, white, head. Aroma of citrus hops and zingy lime. The flavours were intense, with prickly lime working alongside the cream lactose and sweet ish malts. The finish was dryish and long. Very good.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours unclear orange-gold with a small, foamy white head. Medium sweet flavour, notes of lightly toasted malts, ripening citrus, some oily pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous finish, more sun-kissed malts, pine, semi-ripe oranges. Tastes slightly faded. Old-school kind of stuff.

Wit But You Know It from Arbor Ales

568ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of wheat, floral and spicy yeast esters. Taste follows the aroma, spicy peppery yeast esters, floral, mild citrus, none of the hops come through that well sadly, so it's a fairly bog standard wit.
