Back in the early noughties our MD, Nick Scott, found himself in a bar called Brewerkz in Singapore, which had its very own functioning microbrewery. Nick was smitten, and vowed that he would not rest until he had a microbrewery of his very own.

Over the next 15 years, Nick made absolutely no progress towards owning his own microbrewery. He did, however, build up his world-class engineering firm which built many things, including the system that recovered rocket fuel from the Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters.

But in 2016 Nick decided it was time for a change and set on the road to building a brewery inside the workshop of the engineering firm and Ovenstone 109 Ltd was born.

Nearly 2 years later, with a tiny budget and and an even smaller team we launched our very first beer, Terra Nova. Brewed, fermented, bottled and labelled all by our own fair hands.
