About
Our real ales are hand crafted with the local palate in mind, and to exacting standards. We take great pride in the production of our products which are brewed traditionally, with no concentrates, colourings or extract and with accent on the taste of yesteryear. When was the last time you savoured the aroma of a mass produced beer, or tasted its wholesome natural flavour?

Opened in 1995. Moved in 2000 from Gillfoot Brewery, Southerness, Kirkbean.

Deep brown black, sweet rich treacle nose, with a rich complex roast malt, lots of malt fruitness and roast linger. Such a shame to see a few low scores for such an excelent beer that had gone off. And Poor show of the standing order to serve it in such poor condition.
