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.

Hand pulled pint in the Pheasant Inn and Brewhouse on Charter Day, 1st March 2025. Second pint of the day. Slight haze to the golden/amber body, good lasting crown on top. Piney flavour and pretty bitter throughout. Good crisp and hoppy brew.

Cask at Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small tan head. There’s roasted malts and coffee in the aroma plus a hint of lactose. In the mouth it is slightly sweet though a tad watery. Flavour has roasted malts, coffee and liquorice with hints of oats and berry fruits coming through later on. Sweetness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent.
