Description
We first fell in love with brewing on the stove at home, surrounded by pots, pans and raw ingredients. Tinkering endlessly, we studied the ancient art of our vocation. Nomadically brewing around the country, we learned from fantastically generous, knowledgeable artisans, honing our craft along the way.

Today, we’ve outgrown our roots as nomadic brewers, and operate out of two production sites. The first, a brewery we built in St Werburghs, Bristol, is where we focus on our core range of beers, constantly refining the recipes to bring you an ever evolving, perfect pour. New challenges continually arise and are met by our talented team of resourceful brewers, as we continue producing top notch beers whilst adhering to strict social distancing measures. Usually host to our tap room, we’re already looking forward to re-opening the York Street brewery to our friends, family and local community for fresh beers once we all come out the other side. At our second Bristol site, the Barrel Store, work continues on our complex, mixed fermentation and wild yeasted beers. Here, we serve as custodians over our barrel-aged brews as they develop on different kinds of wood.

Ever evolving in the quest for refinement, all of our recipes stem from the desire to create something beautiful and delicious.

New Year's Day 2026 Beers #3 of 3. Full-bodied, although on the crisper tasting side of this, nevertheless its strength transfers into a deeper texture rather than directly into taste. In terms of this its heavy pine aroma is lesser stated in taste, but evident enough.

Bottle from Bottle Baron (2017) and can from House Of Trembling Madness (2026). Black body with a thick tan head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of liquorice, plum, wood, chocolate and salted caramel. Flavour of dumpling, brown sugar, cherry, berries, toffee, Turkish Delight and a hint of cinnamon on the finish. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A complex, warming beer. Lovely.

Dark brown, opaque with a thick, beige head. Subtle aroma of dried coconut, coffee, chocolate, roastiness, a bit of fruitiness, and a chemical note. Dry, velvety on the palate, with notes of coconut and chocolate, followed by dates and raisins, a slight cassis and vanilla, before being choked by the chemical coconut. Roasted finish, dark chocolate, and a late alcoholic warming. The addition of flavourings spoiled this beer.
