Pale ale made with two specially selected hops, Sovereign and Nelson Sauvin. These hops produce an intense and distinctive tropical fruit aroma including mango, lychees and passion fruit to deliver an easy drinking and refreshing beer.
A dark and more-ish Premium Bitter. One of our first ever beers and brewed with lots of Pale Malt for sweetness with the addition of Chocolate and Crystal Malt for body and colour. English hops, First Gold and Bramling Cross give a lovely spiciness and a beautiful bitterness.
Loaded with the fruit and spices found in everyone's favourite festive treat, this Barley Wine has decadent notes of candied orange and caramel with comforting spice and a warming finish.
Berliner Weisse, gently jammed full of blackberry and gooseberry. It's tart and juicy with a delightful acidity and gorgeous berry character.
Hazy pale with a big malt bill heavy on rolled oats, Citra and Azacca in the whirlpool, then punched up the tropical aromas and stone fruit flavours with Cryo Citra and Cryo Idaho 7 hops in the dry hop (along with a cheeky extra dose of Idaho 7). Brewed in collaboration with Moonwake Beer.
This Little Lager is a classic, crisp refreshing, snappy and more-ish joy. The hoppy character brings lime zest, gooseberry and hints of spritzy white wine from the Nelson Sauvin and Citra.
A generous hop bill is inspired by the profile of our flagship IPA, Soundwave. Simcoe and Citra work amazingly well with the backup of Centennial and Chinook, providing punchy tropical fruits, citrus notes and a beautiful resinous, clean finish.
A sessionable porter to keep you company in the winter months. Specialty malts lend us a rich chocolate base, flavours of light roast espresso and a nutty roastiness, while hops are used with a soft touch to give us accents of plums and dark berries.
A delicious ruby coloured gruit ale based on recipes from medieval Europe. Infused with a carefully selected range of herbs and spices, some picked fresh on the brew day. A perfect winter warmer.
A fruit-forward blend of wild fermented cider, fresh apple and red grape juices. The tartness from the cider, sweetness of the apple and dry tannins of the grapes create layer upon layer of flavour and bring a fresh fruity cider with a dry finish.
Medium dry cider made from a blend of apple varieties from Kent.
A blend of traditional bittersweet apples, fermented slowly and finished with a medium dry flavour.
For our 6th birthday we decided to brew a pair of beers which see two of our favourite styles to head to head in a duel of iron fight to the death! In the blue corner is a West Coast Double IPA. We used Simcoe hops in the kettle then dry hopped with Simcoe Cryo, Columbus, Mosaic and a smidge of Citra. Expect a bright and bitter beer that’s full of piney and citrus aromatics.
A Double Dry Hopped Sorachi New England DIPA. Sorachi is one of the most flavour full and aromatic punching hops on the planet. This beer is loaded several times over with Sorachi to the absolute max. Sorachi lovers will say yes please! Others should think carefully as they may well find it is just too hoppy! Don't say you weren't warned! Good luck people!!
