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.

8/XI/25 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 2 - Session 2 (Antwerp), BB: n/a (2025-1249) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!

Clear purplish brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: ooh nice, lots of caramel malts, smells like a good barley wine (turned out it is one, I just try all the beers that are put in front of me with just a name, no context or style). Grains, a little oxidized, plum jam, dried fruits, old school barley wine and I love it! MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: fruity, soft acidity, lots of red currants, plums, dried fruits, alcohol, gentle roast, a little hoppy. Aftertaste: oxidized, sugary, alcohol, jam, plums, cake, some vanilla notes, cola, bitter touch, lots of alcohol. Yes, amazing beer!

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Fairly light bodied pale malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Hops bring a light cooling pine into rounded citrus, mild candy peach and a mild hop spice. Mild hop skunk and even milder Nelson grape. A fairly light finish. Decent but for me, never gets to the higher gears. A good cruiser then.
