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.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Slighlty hazy golden with a small head. Hoppy, it feels much stronger than its strength might suggest, with fruits in both aroma and taste.

26/V/17 - 33cl bottle from a trade @ pre-BBQ tasting, home - BB: smudged ink (2017-637) Thanks to Valerie and Neil for the trade!

Gusher alert!
Pretty cloudy orange to amber beer, irregular big creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, dank, cheesy touch, sweet pineapple, passion fruit. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, cheesy and dank, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit, bit sweet. Aftertaste: malty, pineapple, some citrus, hoppy, dank finish. Very decent, except for that gushing part...

Bottle. Nose is yeasty, a (off putting) sulphurous, some Belgian yeast esters, strawberry, candy sugar. Taste is much better summer fruits, strawberry, pear drops, a little straw, caster sugar. Despite the sweet fruits, it’s pleasingly dry in the finish and quite refreshing. A nice farmhouse ale, which wont sent the world alight, but is better then average in taste, but a little off on the nose.
