Description
We started our brewery in 2016 using a home brew sized kit then very quickly purchased equipment where we could produce 150 bottles or 2 casks per brew, producing this at home in our garage.

We shortly ran out of space and found an industrial unit in Leyland in early 2017 where we could expand our capacity to produce 10 casks or 750 bottles per brew.

By late 2018, we were running out of space – the unit next door to the brewery became available and gave us a lot more space to expand and also to open a brewery tap at Easter 2019.

We have recently expanded our capacity so we can now produce 20 casks or approx 900 litres of beer per batch.

Many thanks to SimonTomlinson for this bottle. Skunky nose. The beer starts strange sourish dry. Lots of malt, carbonation is quite high. Not much aftertaste. Very strange brew.

Foamy white head left a cover on a slowly carbonating bright golden body. Fruity aroma with sweet backdrop. Medium bodied, slight tingle on the front & cloying on the back. Bitter berries, light citrus, faint malt & lovely tangy finish. What a great Pale

Tight creamy off white head stayed on an unclear reddish brown still body. Bitter berry aroma. Medium to thin bodied, sharp on the palate with a clean back. Bitter berry, under ripe stone fruit, jam & slight sour tastes with a long tangy finish. Needs to be sweeter

Third by cask at GBBF Winter, Jeweller's Bar. Shared with Finn. Crystal clear golden body, small sized white head, fair lacing. Mild herbal hops on the nose. Taste of oily hops, bread and a touch of leafy hop bitterness to the ending. Satisfying. (Birmingham 04.02.2020).
