About
An offshoot of the small local pub company of the same name. A small number of trial brews were done at Moor Brewery. The former 10BBL plant from Moor was acquired and full production started in August 2005.
The business was sold by founder Nick Otley in 2016, to a company called All Beer Co, although Companies House reveals no record of such a firm. Eventually brewing ceased in early 2018. Mr Otley retained the company’s pubs which continue to operate.

50cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. A pale straw colour with a billowing white head; an aroma of damp straw and Belgian yeast that’s a bit of a shock to the (nasal) system; strong grassy flavour with touch a touch of citrus; and a fresh green hoppy bitterness; before a sweet grainy finish with a trace of honey. A fine blonde beer in the Belgian style, much better than the boring citrusy offerings that are so common nowadays.

Bottle, gift from Andrew. Hazy chestnut brown with a thick beige head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of blood orange, steel and sticky mango. Flavour of toffee apple, orange zest, grapes and caramel. Medium body with a spritzy mouthfeel. Very fizzy. Not what I was expecting but I really enjoyed this raw, hoppy Saison.
