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.

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt, red berry fruits. The flavour is liqourice bitter, light sweet, with a roasty, red berry raisin, light chocolate, earthy, liqourice bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Where was all the promised chocolate?

440ml can from the brewery. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty malt and orange citrus. The flavour is light sweet and liqourice bitter, with a smooth, light tart orange, light chocolate palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. The orange certainly dominates the chocolate.
