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.

Probably the last of the seasonal loopy-juice efforts still hanging around from the festive period, but a happy find as I've had several of this series before. This version is black with minimal head, sticky-sweet in texture, dark malty in taste with hints of liquorice enhancing the experience. You can feel the booze effect in the body, but it's relatively well hidden in the supping process for its strength.

Keg @ Pien, Helsinki.
POured hazy and orange in color.
Lychee, perfumy like, quite intense hop aroma. Flavor more candy pop like, sweetish. Light bodied, slightly unbalanced. Still loving the aroma.
