Description
Established in 2014 under the name of Thorley & Sons we began brewing beer in our garden shed. Born from a love of great tasting traditional beers we have designed a range of beers that reflects our tastes and palate.

We wanted the business to be a family affair hence the original name of Thorley and Sons as, having three boys, we hope they may grow into being part of it (still trying to pull them away from their play stations at present). The first beers we brewed were Number One Amber and latterly Pale and Interesting and after some careful consideration we rebranded our name to simply Thorley’s as it was suggested that we sounded like a removal firm!
