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.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Thanks to Paul. Hazy deep brown beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest carbonation. Light malt with touches of vanilla and chocolate powder. Light finish. Not really hitting it’s ibjective but pleasant enough.

Bottle from Bottledog. Pours murky brown, taste is light and sessionable. Soft mango, lime and pineapple all merge with a milky tropical character while a lean bitterness gently eases in. Nice stuff.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Paul and Lorna. Pours mostly clear, light amber with a bubbly white head. The nose holds moist bread, some orange, wood. Light-medium sweet flavor with cedar wood, dried citrus, light rindy and piney bitterness. Medium bodied but a touch thin, with fine carbonation. Lightly sweet to finish, some minerals, pine, more orange rind. OK.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The nose is sweet, roasty, creamy, vanilla milkshake, cocoa and earth. The taste is bitter-sweet, roasty, toast, milk chocolate, vanilla, mild acidity and cola with a dry, earthy finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. A touch thin if truth be told. Smells pretty good, but body doesn’t deliver.

Bottle from Corks of North Street, Bristol. Copper coloured, with a decent, off-white head. Citrus fruit and hop aroma, with a touch of caramel and earthy malt aroma. Easy drinking, with solid, almost bready malts, more fruit and a decent, bitter finish. Very good.
