Description
We are a modern craft brewery and tap room founded in 2014 in Rivington. Focusing on innovative modern styles, while drawing inspiration from the past.

Our inspiration comes from the world over, but our focus is very much local. We concentrate on making the best beer in styles we love, for the people in our local communities. Our passion for the North West is paid back tenfold. We have local landlords who buy whatever we make, no matter the style - from barleywine to grisette - we’re really lucky that so many places support us because they like our beers, and their customers love to try anything local. The people we look up to are all the brewers who are never content with the beers that they’re making - you can always be better.

Many thanks to ManVsBeer for a 330ml bottle. Patchy off-white head, opaque orange body, spotty lacing. Moderate smell of plums. Dried fruity flavours, hints of apricot and plums, added by yeasty esters. More sweet than bitter to the ending. Medium plus bodied. Accepted. (Shared with Gary, Kirkley, Lowestoft 07.07.2019).

Craft TCR Bottleshare. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry and with decent fine carbonation. Softish pale malts, sweet enough. Piney hops and good citrus and citrus peel. An unexpected Parma Violets vibe adds additional interest. Citrus peel bitterness coming to the fore on the dry crisp finish. Nice.
