Description
In 2015, multi awarding-winning brewer and publican Olly Bainbridge launched a brand new brewery in Exmouth. With the beer initially produced through “cuckoo” brewing (using spare capacity in an existing brewery), this was the first step towards opening a part-crowdfunded 6 barrel brewery in The Grapevine’s old stables in Exmouth town centre in 2015.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at the Exeter Winter Ales Festival 14/1/2017. Near black in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Sweetish stout, with some toasty malts, camp coffee notes, leafy hops and a touch of chocolate, before a gentle finish. Good.
