Description
An independent brewery founded in 1996 and employee owned since 2024, we like to think that we blend creativity and innovation with heritage and tradition, reflecting these values across our beers. Our house style could typically be described as pale and hoppy, but that’s not all we can do! As the beer world has evolved so have we, covering a wide range of styles and continually pushing the boundaries of what we can create.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Mostly clear pale coppery brown. Sturdy off white foam stays the course. Looks well. Nose has light sweet caramel. Some hedgerow fruit. Light leafy hop. Taste is semi sweet with a hint of hedgerow fruit bitterness. Pretty smooth overall with decent body at the ABV. Light sweet light bitter finish with a touch of dryness to finish. Nice.
