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 at the Belle Vue, High Wycombe] Amber with a small white head. Light in flavour but with a decent hoppy mouthfeel, this is a decent, crisp easy drinking session bitter with a dry finish. Went down nicely.
