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 Bell, Waltham St Lawrence.] A hazy pale amber pour with a ring of white head, unfortunately reminiscent of dirty dish water; a fresh tropical fruit aroma makes a better impression; and the body is smooth and path with a crisp citrus finish. Best drunk with ones eyes shut.

Third, cask at Brighton Bierhaus. Clear rosewood body, naked surface, dotted spots on the glass. A bit restrained aroma of chocolate malts. Liquorice and creamy chocolate to the taste character. Rounded mid-sweet ending. Rather thin mouthfeel. Fair enough. (Brighton 17.10.2019).

Cask at Crown, Horsell. Sweet fruity and caramel. A red tint to the chestnut. The translucent white head is just vespers. Light-medium bitter with a sour edge. Underlying creamy nutty sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Astringent finish. OK - but the aftertaste is the stand out feature.
