11 years on we have become a well-known award-winning microbrewery at the heart of the small independent brewing community in the North West. We are SIBA FSQ accredited and members of the SIBA Independent Assured Brewer programme which ensures the beers we make are of the highest quality. We take pride in the quality beers we provide.

Cask at The Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a bubbly light tan head. The aroma is light fruit, malt, hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a watery spicy hop pepper palate. Medium bodied with flat car carbonation. An unusual low carbo black IPA but it worked for me.
