About
Anton and Sarah Stark commenced brewing in Summer 2013. After brewing at Claro Road for a few years the brewery moved to the current site at Hookstone Chase in 2017. The brewery changed ownership in 2020 when it was bought by businessman and brewing enthusiast Joe Joyce.

Lovely pint of trad bitter: chestnut brown with a frothy / creamy off-white head and a fruit malt aroma. Perhaps a little on the thin side, but bursting with flavour: berry fruit, malt and floral hops, finishes dry and nicely bitter

Cask (gravity) at Brunswick, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal tan head. There’s roasted malts, peanuts and spices in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off sweet and juicy with a creamy texture. Flavour has dark fruits, roasted malts, spices and a hint of salt. Traces of nuts and cake come later along with increasing bitterness which dominates the finish. This is decent.
