Description
We've been brewing in New Mills since 2015, based at the Marina and opposite the famous Swizzels factory.
Our name comes from the other major landmark of the town, the Torrs - a park set in the 70-foot-deep gorge cut by the Rivers Goyt & Sett, that the town stands above and around, where many of the town's mills used to stand.

Keg at the Rake. It pours black with a small beige head. The aroma is fresh, sweet florals, parma violets!, candied rose petals, bubble gum nd roasted malts. The taste is crisp, bitter, roasted malts, floral notes, bright parma violets character, peppery spice and charred wood with a lingering dry - roasted finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. A good floral cda.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Beermoth. Pours hazy orange reddish-gold with a frothy, mostly white head. The nose has some English yeast, bready malts, ripening citrus, grain, earth and berries. Medium sweet flavour with some rounded berry character, a little woody dryness, bitter earth, slight oily pine, rindy orange, grainy bread, more ripe citrus. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, with adequate bready sweetness, further resinous piney hops, ripening berries and general citrus fruits, some orange, more grainy bread. Really, it’s pretty enjoyable stuff overall. Definitely a ’British’ IPA, though, for what it’s worth.

Keg @ Victorian Craft Beer Café, Halifax. Deep clear copper with a strength, but a good grainy-malty aroma and taste that’s somewhat raw with its ingredients.
