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.

Handpull cask at the Olde Trip to Jerusalem. Light to mid-gold, clear and flat. Aroma of pineapple, pink grapefruit, agave syrup. Very sweet taste, some more pineapple. Sweet, syrupy body, no carbonation. A tiny bit artificial but a good drink.

Cask @ Whitelocks, Leeds. Clear blonde with a thick creamy-frothy head. Has an easy session-strength and tropic to exotic aroma and taste, with the latter perhaps a tad more stated, and certainly so in its aftertaste.

Cask @ Old Queens, Sheffield. Light golden with a creamy head. Hoppy in the main with its strength evident, also with just a hint of fruitiness.

Hand-pulled pint in the Fishpond, Matlock Bath on 6th May 2023. Clean and clear golden body, white crown. Not a lot going on for a special Coronation beer to be honest. Some mild citrus notes on a malty base is all I can come up with really.

Cask @ Pie & Ale, Golden with a creamy head. Slightly more golden ale styling than pale ale for me, but still with a pass mark. Lightly sweetened hoppy brew.
