Description
We are a brewery on Westcombe Farm in Somerset and we care about how our beers are made. Most importantly where our ingredients come from and how they’re grown. We pay particular attention to the grain we use and source it directly from farmers whose practices whether regenerative or organic, help restore soil health and rebuild ecological systems.

The beers are simple and reflect these values. Having a limited palette to work from allows our creativity to shine in a more subtle and nuanced way. Our beers are inspired by fabulous British and German traditions that are informed by owner and Brewmaster Adrian Peskin's own heritage.

Uses the former site of The Wild Beer Company Ltd.

Interesting stuff. Rich flavour, lightly burnt whole grain toast, crunchy grains, earthy bitterness, a little orange rind. Some wood and crackers. Drinkable enough. Lingering bitterness.

440ml can. Pours a slightly hazed golden with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit, stone fruits, herbal/floral. Taste is citrusy, grapefruit, stone fruit, some floral/herbal qualities and nice piney bitterness. Medium bodied. A nice (and rare) German-hopped IPA, not had many of these before but I like it, west coast inspired maybe.

Can. Sickbed rate. Be nice to taste something other than salty snot! Near clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head that actually hangs around for a bit. Palate is light and mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light smooth pale malts, not grainy, not creamy, just smooth and moderately sweet. Great UK hops, light crisp pine, a mild earthy bitterness, tangy and slightly woody mandarin and orange citrus. Mild hop spice. Light crisp finish. So reminiscent of ales of yore but, delivered in a bright, clean and crisp modern manner. Salute!
