Description
It’s safe to say that we like beer. In fact we like beer so much that we started our own brewery and it’s an employment requirement that everyone who joins our team is also passionate about beer. Obviously we’re a business so we have to make a profit each year so we can carry on working in the industry we love. We do that by making the best beer that we can.

Cask at Cronx Open Day. It pours darkest brown with a thick light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, cocoa, earth and oily hop. The taste is bitter, roasty, pine, varnish, resin, cocoa, oily hop and citrus peel with a lingering dry, bitter finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Flavoursome. Really rather nice light black ipa.
