About

The brewery is a custom built 15 barrel plant and brews a selection of permanent and seasonal real ales. The brewery supplies it’s beer to local pubs including The Coach and Horses which is on the same site as the brewery.

From old notes. Visited the brewpub in the Summer of 2000. Cask. Chestnut coloured. Nice and strong, fruity esters, sweetish. Not unlike Theakston's Old Peculier for instance..

From old notes. Visited the brewpub in the Summer of 2000. Cask. Reminded me a lot of Flemish brown ales of around 5% like Pater Lieven. Soft and sessionable.
