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.

Gravity cask at the 2025 Rutland CAMRA Festival, the County Museum, Oakham. Light reddish brown, maybe a little bit of haze with a loose uneven ring of beige/khaki head. Heady chocolate malt in the nose with red berries. Tastes sweet, malty with lovely fruity hop followed by a notably bitter finish. More malt in the aftertaste. Body is thin with no carbonation. A very good mild.

Old rating - A 500ml bottle from Waitrose, still in date. Pours a very dark brown with next to no head. Aromas & tastes of chocolate, vanilla, lactose & sweet malt. Medium body with very little carbonation. Sweet malty finish. Decent & enjoyable even if it was a little out of condition.

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Light to kid-yellow gold. Hazy with a full white head. Light aroma, some pineapple, guava, vanilla. Taste... oh my. Lots of guava, lime leaf, pineapple, passionfruit. Tart but far from spur. Short finish is. Good full body with medium carbonation. Nice sour, lots of character.
