Description
2012 we started with a Sheffield pub the Fox & Duck in Broomhill and followed this in 2014 with the Doctor’s Orders on Glossop Rd. We’d always had a love for cask across the pubs and whilst on holiday having the odd shandy came up with the brilliant idea of opening a microbrewery and serving our own quality ales.

Late 2015 we found a unit in the Kelham area where we knew the water was good and immediately felt at home. Cold Room built, drainage plinth sorted, Dave Porter supplied and fitted the kit – we started our adventures in brewing beer.

As per plan within a short period of time we took on an experienced brewer. This was followed by us taking on a full time sales and delivery person. We’ve continued to grow the business with new processes, new kit, more people, new recipes and now have a stable 10BBL plant with a great team.

With great folk working for us at the brewery we continue to learn everyday. We’re passionate about making beer and try to retain the home brew spirit of experimentation and fun. We really appreciate the feedback we’re getting from our growing customer base and looking forward to a return to growth over 2021.

Cask @ The Baum, Rochdale. Golden with a thick creamy head. Certainly a honey brew - it's evident in both aroma and taste, although the latter has quite a floral blast about it.

Copper brown with a frothy white head and just a touch of sweet malt on the nose. Light bodied with caramel malt, some nuttiness and floral hops nicely balanced, just a hint of spice coming through in a dry, slightly bitter finish

Clear and golden with a frothy/creamy white head and a nice raspberry aroma. Smooth and just a little creamy, raspberries up front, giving a lovely touch of tartness, with soft, grainy malt to follow and a dry, slightly bitter finish

Cask at Raven, Crewe. Pours almost black with a medium sized tan head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma at first, but a nutty aura does gradually make itself known. In the mouth is is quite seet and smooth with a creamy texture. Flavour has lactose, roasted malts, hazelnuts and cocoa. This is quite nice if a little sweet. Hides its strength very well too.

Cask at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Gold pour with a white head. Zesty orangey nose, whack of apricot jam. Most certainly clementine in the taste, more apricot jam & orange. Zesty citrusy finish. Refreshing little number.
