About
We offer a full range of tasty beers, from dark and mysterious stouts and porters through to lagers and hoppy pales. But our true passion is for heritage beers, which is why our core range comprises beers based on nineteenth century recipes and tasting notes. We have also branched out into spirits, creating our Limited Edition Hopped Gin in 2019.

Bottle from Pigs Ear a coupla years back. Oops, mebbe should not of aged this one - let’s see. Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts, a nice fluffy creamy sweetness. Touches of caramel and toffee. Light bretty savoury vibe. Modest and smooth dried fruits which are well integrated. Smooth pine on the dry crispy finish. Well if this is a good approximation of an 1892 beer then I can see why beer was so popular in those days.

Cask. Pale amber color. Caramel and soft brett in the aroma. Caramelly yet dry flavor. Just a hint of sourness. Licorice. Drinkable.
