About
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 Heidrun, 20/07/20. 127 days since last visit to a bar/pub !!! Hazed orange to light amber with a decent just off white head that retains well. Nose is orange pith, grass, melon, tangerine, airy malts. Taste comprises melon, orange pith, toasted malts, light pine, mellow grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with balanced hop bitterness. Not bad ... an old skool leaning IPA.

Vanilla-flavoured milk stout by this successful craft brewery in Bristol, thanks to Pieter for sharing the can! Mousy, pale greyish beige, medium thick head on a very dark chocolate brown beer with reddish burgundy hue. Aroma of cold black coffee, milk powder, Ersatz chocolate, caramel sauce, fig jam, hazelnut purée, prunes, sugared tea. Sweet onset, clear lactose effect from the start, candied figs, raisins, medium carbonated with an oily, yet slender body; very caramelly middle with hazelnut- and toffee-like layers, some 'koetjesreep' in the end, all edged by 'blood'-like, naturally feeling iron; herbal tea-like aspect in the end, 'pepernoot' and gingerbread, but the vanilla was either very subtle to begin with or has already faded by now, as I am getting very little of it, regrettably. Light roasty bitterness in the finish, but the lactose remains dominant, with a bubblegummy effect in the end. Traditional milk stouts are not the easiest style to get right - and I doubt if they get any better with additional flavourings, to be honest... This one is about halfway there.

33cl can courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck and Bierridder.
BB 16/7/2020.
Dorée sur un léger voile, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme au nez fin houblonné entre herbacé et fruité tropical - retrouve un léger rétro de mangue. Pointe de grains léger.
Palais est sec - grains, mangue plus une fine touche herbacée, légèrement huileux des houblons. Un effet plus agrumes revient en retrait avec qcq éléments terreux.
