Description
We are a Microbrewery based in the picturesque village of Bow Brickhill, near Woburn, on the Buckinghamshire / Bedfordshire border.

Head brewer, Ryan Horne, has always had a passion for real ales and craft beer and has devoted time and effort learning about traditional brewing techniques and perfecting recipes using only quality, natural ingredients.

Having gained these skills we decided to take the ‘goat by the horns’ and brew our efforts for a wider audience to enjoy. After much planning and hard work our 6 Barrel Brewery was installed in early March 2015 and brewing in Bow Brickhill finally commenced.

Bottle from Buckingham Garden Centre, consumed at home Saturday 23rd January 2016 Citrussy and just a bit hoppier and better than I was expecting, I feel a bit bad that I had low expectations for this, it was fine this despite spending 6 weeks in the back pocket or the driving seat of my car no doubt enduring fluctuating temperatures. Bitterness remains in mouth long after beer is finished, good stuff. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4
