Description
The brewery is still a small family run operation and currently employs over 20 people. The business was set up by Shane and Alison Parr, with lots of help from Iain and Anne Reid (Alison’s parents) and Innes Reid (Alison’s brother), but we survive and thrive on the great crew we have working with us.

Our brewing plant capacity has been upgraded over the years and now is now 100 brewer’s barrels (28,800 pints) per week, which allows us to meet demand during peak periods. In 2013 we constructed a purpose built, energy efficient brew house, and we’re always looking for ways to improve our environmental impact by saving water and energy.

Cask at Henry Potts, Chester. Pours a dark straw with a small white head and good lacing. Just some sweet malts in the aroma. Pretty much the same in the mouth, where they are joined by floral hops and summer fruits. Later on some bitterness comes into the equation, and this is emphasised in the somewhat dry finish. It’s OK.

Cask @ Cromwells Tap House. Clear gold appearance, small white head. Lovely fresh balanced pale, soft malty character with very subtle grapefruit hop hints. Expected a little more from the mosaic hops. Fine overall, very light and easy drinking.

Cask @ House of Grain. Clear bright gold with a small pure white head. Assumed from the name this was made with honey but it's not. Fresh floral hops, grapefruit and lime hints, nice light drinkability.
