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 thanks to Cloin. Near clear but very dark brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, modest fine carbonation, fine for this style. Smooth dark malts, a little creamy cakey dark chocolate goes well with the soft peaty ripe fruity whiskey barrel. Light touch of candy fruits. Not too heavy on the band aids which is a boon to me. Pretty rich and for me, surprisingly drinkable.

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Slightly unclear orange color, average sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly rye in there? Nice hoppy, sticky hops. Old school BW. Love it. Good sticky hops and firm to heavy bitter finish. Good stuff! 7-8-8-8-8,5

From draft at Melkebaren, Sandnes, 21.12.25 with Terje, Ole, Roffe and Norleif after yule tide busking. Milky pale straw colour. Bright white head and lacing. Excellent aroma and taste of passion fruit, grapefruit, lychee and so on. Very tasty!

500 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.0%. Opaque and yellow thick smoothie texture, no head. Lots of pulp in the mouthfeel. Aroma and flavour of mango, peach and passionfruit, moderately sour (lactic acid), distinctly sweet and fruity throughout. There is nothing here (except the alcohol) to remind you that this is a beer, but it sure is a splendid fruit smoothie.
