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. Black in the glass. Very sturdy thick beige foam. Looks good. Nose has a suggestion of parkin with light ginger notes and some nutmeg. Taste is fairly dry with a hint of sweetness and a moderate bitterness. Feels pretty thin overall. There’s no body or depth despite the 5.2%. Thin watery bitter finish. Started off ok but disappeared into nothingness.

Cask at House of Hop, Darlington. Gluten Free. Pale golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of fruit, zesty citrus, hops. Taste is sweetish, malt, grain, tangy, with fruity citric hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable

Ooo, that's good. Tropical fruitiness with a full, smooth body.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#11. Always an orderable hop for me, although not quite as gritty or fruity as some other examples, but pretty good regardless. Blonde in colour with a very sessionable character.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#7. Blonde in colour for this very drinkable texture for its strength, it certainly doesn't feel it. Hoppy, not a typical golden ale. Very good.
