Description
Located in the semi-rural location of Wakes Colne in the borough of Colchester, the brewery was formed in late 2011.

All funding came from the 3 founding directors and their friends and family.

1st February 2012 saw the first brew on the 10 brewers’ barrels (about 1600 litres) kit, with this being the beer that remains our best-seller, namely Colchester No1.
