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.

Keg at Brew, Hull. My phone insisted that this beer was called Mundane. Let's hope that this is not the case... Haxy orange. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has light but tart citrus. Flavourwise it's more tart. A tart citrus led pale of some description (Internet has failed me). Underlying canned fruit syrup and creamy porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent.

Keg at The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, Brisssle. Dark and glossy - a plum tint that is entirely in my mind?! Thin foamy beige head. Aroma is initially very sweet and all plum before coffee bitterness perks up. Flavourwise it's has a wave of sweetness over a bitter core. Bitterness shuts shop. The bitterness keeps the sweetness in check. Heavy. Oily. Soft prickly carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish.

Keg ordered in error at The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, Brisssle. Slightly opaque light g9ld. Thin foamy white head primarily sticks to the rim. Aroma has malts and salted lemon. Flavourwise it's quite sour (lemon juice) over dull malts. Light. Thin. Flat carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Not awful but dull. Can see how they have tried to amp it up but the citrus element is ultimately one-noted.
