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 at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a deep ruby red with a small cream head. Malts and honey feature in the aroma. In the mouth the texture is slightly watery, but there is plenty of flavour. Rye and other grains are noticeable immediately, with an underlying malt base. Later on spices and autumn fruits rise to the top, and the fruits are there in the finish, which is otherwise slightly sweet. This is quite a nice drink.

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, big coconut. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, with a light, slightly watery, yeasty, smoky, liqourice bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. The aroma was promising, but the beer as a whole was really poor. Nice can though.
