Description
We think life’s too short not to enjoy what you do, so we decided to brew. First and foremost we brew beer for you to enjoy. But we also think the art and science of brewing is fascinating so we’re going to share that with you.

We’re interested in creating good chemistry in its broadest sense – not just in the quality of the beer we brew, but using that to allow us to celebrate community and relationships across science, the arts, music, food, and social experiences, as well as beer & brewing. We might be biased, but we think Bristol is one of the best cities in the UK, and we’ll shout about that as much as we can.

The brewery was started by Bob and Kelly in 2015, finding a home for the 10 barrel kit in St Philips in East Bristol.

Cask-conditioned at the Hatchet, Bristol 15 September 2023. Deep gold in colour with a slight, off-white, head and touch of haziness. Leafy hops, caramel, bready malts, and a some hedgerow fruitiness, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Keg @ Pelican Bar, Manchester. Well carbonated hazy paler golden brew - perhaps a little too much fizz. Fruity nose, similar taste.
