Description
We are a nano brewery producing small batches of exciting, tasty beer in casks and cans. We brew from a residential garage in the ex-mining town of Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Our beers are mainly found in Ilkeston, Derby and Nottingham, but we have also supplied beers further afield.

Our aim is to provide quality, hand crafted beer to the surrounding area. We brew a variety of styles which are available in 9 gallon firkins, 4.5 gallon pins or 500ml bottles. With a passion for great beer and homebrewing, in 2016 we registered commercially to supply local outlets. Nothing beats seeing people enjoy our beer!
