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.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma is full of coconut and chocolate, bounty chocolate bar. Taste is similar to the aroma. Minimal carbonation. Nice.

Can from Tick Beer. Pours a dark brown with big light beige head. Bounty bar aroma, some liquorice and grassiness. Taste has a lovely chocolate and coconut, moreish rather than harsh like some others I've tried. Light roast, liquorice, faint jammy note. Nice balance to this. Great stuff.

Cask at Rose Inn in Norwich, which is just a short walk away from the football club, just head to the river via the small pedestrian alleyway almost opposite and you are there! Clear golden with a small head. Pleasantly hopped session brew, that's about it!
