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.

500ml can. Almost opaque yellow, thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit, mango, guava, vinous and herbaceous. Taste is intensely hoppy, very citrusy, pithy orange and grapefruit, tropical mango and guava, white wine, very dank and herbal, finishing with strong pithy hop bitterness. Medium bodied. Solid DIPA as expected, though not among their best, amazingly.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2025-06 getrunken. Diese ist ein kräftiges Stout mit deutlichen Schokoladen/Tonka Aromen. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und das Stout wirkt sonst auch sehr stimmig, aber es sind kein Kirsch-Aromen zu finden.

On tap at Fuggles Cafe Tonbridge. Cloudy pale gold colour lasting white head. Well it's has citra so i should like it. Aroma isnot my favourite i admit. Garlic and onion. Flavour is intense. More lightly fried onions and light garlic. Some citrus fruits struggle through eventually. Light bitterness. Some ok citrus fruit but nope not for me.
