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 @ Oluthuone Haka, Helsinki.
Poured deep yellow in color, not much head or carbonation./ soft.
Soft and pretty juicy for sure, faint spicy notes. Mango coming through. Easy but expected more really.

Can sourced from Fuss Club at home in London - 26/11/2025 Nice medley of citrus and tropical fruit on the nose upon open and taste follows, pine needles, light hop spice, citrus peel, semi sweet pale malts, balanced light hoppy finish. Tasty and refreshing. Very nice.

Keg @ Oluthuone Haka, Helsinki.
POured light hazy orange in color.
Slight ruipe fruitiness in the form of melon and pineapple comes to mind. Twang of passionfruity tartness. Light to medium bodied. Not really my thing.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that is gone in a jiffy. Light palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, sweet enough, a mild grain. Cooling pine hops, a nip of spice. Kinda wishy washy hop fruits. Light finish. Never grabbed at all.
