Description
Commenced brewing in late 1997. Appears to have gone into liquidation in late 2013. After a short hiatus the business was bought by a company called Bedfordshire Breweries and production resumed in early 2014. Some new beers have been introduced but the core range remains largely the same. Closed in 2016.

NB - Not to be confused with Potton Brewing which opened in 2017.

[Gravity cask at Milton Keynes beerfest] A dirty bitter straw flavour. Pretty nasty, this was a bit of a struggle to drink.

Cask at GBBF 2006, from the CBoB entry cask. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity with hints of diacethyl and bread. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel and alcohol, leading to a slightly sticky and bitter end that also has light flowery notes.

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 06. Hazy copper, with lasting beige head. Resiny hop aroma, bit of grapefruit. Smooth in mouth, juicy citrus finish. Yes, could do with another half a day settling, but still a pretty good bitter.

A dark orange beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is very sweet and complex with notes of yeast, fruit, cinnamon, but also hints that lead my brain towards detergent. The flavor is dominated by notes of yeast and grapefruit on a sweet and sour background and with a smooth yet dry end.
