Description
We pride ourselves on brewing exceptionally high-quality beer for you to enjoy, whether that’s at home or on an adventure. We source quality ingredients from the best suppliers, ensuring our beer is delicious and fresh.
In 2023-2024, we underwent a huge brewery expansion to increase the amount of beer we can produce, as well as improving quality and efficiency.
Our brewhouse is the first of it’s kind in the UK & Europe incorporating 4 new 6000L fermenting vessels, bringing our total to a 40,000L capacity. We have a 3-vessel fully automated brewhouse consisting of a mash conversion vessel, a lauter tun and a kettle whirlpool vessel. These three parts, in their own special ways, improve our brewing methods and increase efficiency.

Keg at Campervan. It pours cloudy golden with minimal head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy,mango, passion fruit, five alive fruit juice and tinned peach. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bright, good mouth - pucker, sherbet, passion fruit, mango, minerality, sour candy and candied orange with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Bright, tart and juicy. Refreshing.

Cask hand pull at The Guildford Arms. It pours black with a bubbly tan cap. The aroma is rich roasted malt, umami, liquorice, charcoal, some orange peel, touch of marmalade and dull smoke. The taste is pretty dry, bitter, hard roasted malts, ashy, liquorice, burnt toffee, some bitter citrus rind and umami with some peppery spice on what is a rather drying finish. Light - medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Certainly doesn't lack flavour.. A bit ashy perhaps, but nae bad at all.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Amber with a head. Strong tasting but with good caramels to offset this.

Keg at the brewery. Black body with a thin beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of biscuit, coffee and minerals. Flavour of coffee, rust and tart plum. Thin body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. For me, the flavour is a bit tinny. Campervan brew dark beers so well, but I wasn’t particularly keen on this one.

Keg at the brewery. Hazy deep golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of wheat, chalk, cigarette butt and orange pith. Flavour of green pepper, papery malt and apricot. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A smooth, well rounded beer, but I’m still unconvinced about the use of coffee in pale beers.
