About
Inspired by the Wiltshire landscape surrounding us, we work towards being the most sustainable brewery that we can be. Most importantly, when we began and with the right tools in our hands, we knew that we could create a mighty fine pint. A small team then set about with a vision for handcrafting ales from plough to pint. Using barley from our fields and chalk-filtered water from our own source, we’re bigger and bolder than we were then, but with the same knowledge that nothing quite beats the taste of a decidedly good pint after a long day.

Cask at the Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is weak malt and a little citrus fruit. The flavour is medium bitter with a super smooth zesty, hoppy liqourice bitter palate and with a lovely lingering malty finish. A super session ale.

Cask, handpump at the Crosse Keys, Thame, Oxon in the company of Loz, Jackie & Simon, Sunday 04.08.13 Pours light gold with white head. A little sweet initially and quite unremarkable, clearly playing second fiddle to the Great Heck Brunette. I would have described it in even greater detail but Simon gulped the remainder, reasonably good but far from great A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0
