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 @ Tap and Can. Clear gold pour, small white head. Light floral hop aroma, taste firmly rooted in a traditional English pale mindset, mild noble hops, bitter close. Ok trad pale.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Pours dark with a creamy off-white head. Very roasty, seems more akin to an Irish dry stout, little of the NE yeast coming through. Decent tho..
