Description
An independently owned award winning micro-brewery, we started in an ancient milking shed just outside Bexhill, East Sussex. We’re now in a 2000 litre purpose built facility on the sprawling Sussex Downs just outside of Brighton where we brew traditional beers with a modern twist.

The music is always turned up too loud and in a nod to our roots, we have cows as next door neighbours.

We have a lovely community on our farm, working closely with our landlord and supplying beer to his son who runs the butcher’s and farm shop on site.

Cask gravity at Siba South East 2015. Light smoke but lasting chilli. Dark ruby black beer no head little condition. Some chocolate. Smokey chilli is ok and not over powering. Heat on the finish is just about right for me.
