Trying to find a way to spend more time together and realising they had a mutual passion for beer, father and son duo Tony & Rhys Williams, started brewing in an old mushroom shed on the back lots of Loddington Farm in Kent in 2013. What set out as an activity for the father and son to bond over soon developed in to something more. The recipes they brewed in that old mushroom shed were just too good to keep to themselves and they wanted to share their passion and the chance for other people to be able bond over their fine beers.

Closed October 2025. Purchased January 2026 by Grainstore Brewery, with the brewing equipment relocated to Oakham.
