About
Founded in 2013, we are a microbrewery specialising in bottom-fermented beers, more commonly known as lagers.*

For many years, lagers in Britain have been dominated by global brands and industrial production methods. The focus has been on branding, not flavour. We are reinventing British lagers by returning to the traditional methods that originally made it the most popular beer style in the world. We will not compromise flavour and we will not be the official lager of the next major international sporting event.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - cloudy orange. Proportionate off-white head. Nose - banana, toffee and clove. Taste - more banoffee, in fact getting into the sweeter edges of toffee this time. Palate - creamy in texture, medium bodied and a sweet finish. Overall - nice.

Oh dear. DMS central. Lots of grains on aroma. Banana and clove but there's a lot of cooked cabbage and butterscotch which is doing it no favours. Not a good beer at all unfortunately.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - deep amber to red. Light haze. Thin head. Nose - red fruits like cherry or raspberry. Cake mixture. Taste - fruitcake and a slightly toasty edge. Palate - close to medium bodied. Crunchy texture. Toasty end. Overall - enjoyable if not what I expected. I suppose getting into the realms of Vienna Lager.

5.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle from Stori. Appearance - cloudy golden orange. Big white head. Nose - overripe apple, peanut something resembling pine, but more dank. Taste - something a bit wild yeast going on. Green apples and farmyard slurry. Palate - light to medium bodied. Bitter as expected but a sourness I'm not so happy about. Overall - not sure this one was 100% what the brewer intended. Tbror other beers have been fine examples of German styles.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - hazy orange with attractive lacing. Nose - trademark bananas with an edge of pear drops. A little sweet spice too. Taste - loads of banana, some toffee and then more sweet spice, possibly nutmeg. Palate - light to medium bodied. Lovely creamy texture. Balanced tapering on the finish. Overall - really authentic Germanic brewiny here.
