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.

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Very dark reddish brown, flat with a ring of loose beige head. Odd smell: light, very malty, a bit sour like balsamic vinegar. Not that pleasant. However it tastes wonderfyl. Malty and sweet with notes of black cherry and delicate black tea. Finish is incredibly bitter with medicinal hops clinging to the back of the throat. A complex little changeling.
