From a humble garage-based micro-brewery to the slick operation you see today at our boiler house by the canal, our beers – and the way we do things – have come a long way. But our values remain exactly the same: to produce creative and dynamic artisan brewing you’ll love.

Flamingos are the obvious pink bird, but the Pink Robin is arguably pinker! All clear golden ale here, no pink. Easy water, hopped, mild fruity and towards stewed in aroma, session material that slips down the palate with ease.

Deep dark brown, near black, with frothy / creamy tan head and a woody, malty aroma. Light bodied, fresh with milk chocolate and coffee notes, roasted malt, a hint of liquorice and a dry finish.

Greenhead Beer Festival 2024. Golden in appearance with a creamy-frothy head from its hand pull at this festival. Easy texture hoppy-fruity aroma and taste. Light tropical in the fruit respect.

Greenhead Beer Festival 2024. Golden with some haziness. Easy session, which is hoppy in the main but light tropical fruit notes elevate the brew.

Greenhead Beer Festival 2024. Hazy paler golden appearance. Easy enough helped by an easy texture with good light tropical fruit notes that linger.

Skipton Beer Festival 2024. Clear golden in colour. Soapy-hoppy, but more of the latter, with a light sweetness available. Pretty regular though.
