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.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Hazy dark gold. Foamy white head. Aroma is initially fruity, sweet, with a sour herbal and slightly vinous edge. Flavourwise it's bitter with a sour edge. Underlying fruit sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Yep.

Keg at SalamaNation, Helsinki.
Poured dense orange juicy looks with a white lasting head.
Pineapple juicy, light body, not really showing any malt base. No bitterness, feels bit chalky and empty.

Wigan Beer Festival 2026, Beer#30. Cloudy yellow in appearance. Citrus is dominant in both aroma and taste, but as there's plenty of strength about this brew it's a slower sipper. Sweetish in its lingering tropical, but more pine heavy aroma and taste.
