Description
In fact despite finding the latest premises in early 2016 the beer was still being brewed in a back garden shed in Timperley well in to summer 2016. The brewery remains a one-man brewery.

The name says it all but this place has been built and driven by one person’s stubborn and resolute ambition to make life more interesting, challenging, fulfilling and most importantly fun.
