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 @ Old Harker Arms, Chester. Golden with a thick creamy head. It’s mild tasting with a floral aroma and taste but a higher sweetness in its nose.

Cask @ Coach & Horses, Shrewsbury. Has a light sweetness with a faint fruity bitterness. A pleasant, if rather unremarkable, bitter. Will attempt to re-rate from a bottle.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival. Nice and tasty vanilla sweet wheat, a little silkier than the grainy wheats but lovely stuff nonetheless. A nice mid-fest beer.

50cl bottle from the Spar in Rhos on Sea. This was definitely the best of the 4 beers from this brewery that I found there - there’s plenty of toffee, biscuits, even hints of ginger and dark chocolate. These come through on both taste and aroma. The palate is close to medium in body and it achieves that crunchy texture and clean finish I want in a Bitter. Well brewed, sir!

50cl bottle from the Spar at Rhos on Sea. There’s definitely the expected tang of unmalted wheat in here and the lemon zest added, increases this aroma and and taste. It’s fairly true to the style, but I’d really have liked something of a bit more intensity - maybe orangey and a bit more creamy. It could do with just a little more body though I generally do like this style, so still enjoyable.
