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.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#16. Keg bar. Black ale. The parkin element is obvious, somewhat cake-like, overbearing through a grittiness to be sessionable, but appealing enough on its own. This is a crisp keg pour example so quite appealing. Sweet nose.

(Cask at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, 20251015) The beer poured clear and almost black. Its head was medium sized nearly white. Aroma had pine, burnt malts and smoke. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, pine, grass, smoke, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste had ash, light sweetness and bitterness. A little bit too burnt for a Black IPA. Otherwise good.
