Description
Since 2015 we’ve been brewing & refining relentlessly to create the ultimate pale ales ~ beers that are hazy, juiced-up & bursting with hoppy goodness.

Our driving passion is modern hop-forward beer.

From high in the hills of Somerset we're a true grassroots brewery that’s fiercely independent & we’re 100% committed to keeping it that way.

We’re totally obsessed with low oxygen brewing... it means our beers stay fresher for longer. But that's not all, every Pale Ale & IPA we ship is under 6 weeks old!

All our beers are naturally carbonated & our brewery runs on 100% green energy.

Cask at Bag O Nails. It pours crazy cloud golden with no head. The aroma is fresh, bright, juicy, oily, apricot, peach, nectarine and fruit smoothie. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, pithy, zesty, chewy, floury white bread, spice, grass straw, tannin and wood with a drying finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Not a looker, but decent overall.
