Breweries big and small are all touting purity and natural ingredients these days. It’s brilliant. But it should be a given. After the mash has settled what we all really want is a good liquid mood enhancer – full of aromas, enlivening flavours and great hop character. We make our beer with our hands and use only yeast, rainwater, and fistfuls of hops. It’s all about subtle differences in varieties and combinations.

Our First Four

Our first four beers began life as humble numbers. The locals tasted and
debated the characteristics and created potential names. Some names
were unprintable, and some just plain embarrassing, but the vote was
cast and now the beers have real names as is the tradition with beer.
Nevertheless, the numbers have stuck around. Today, whether you
know them by name or number, you can still enjoy our first four beers
in their original order.

Heroic Range

Frankly, this beer is probably best enjoyed by the filthy rich.
If you are one of these people, or would like to taste the things filthy
rich people drink, then drink this beer. You’ll no doubt appreciate its
heroic qualities: the perseverance in brewing, the meticulous selection
of the finest ingredients, and the tenacious desire to sell it in spite
of its sheer unprofitability. Imbibe and you’ll find it’s truly a triumph
over mediocrity.
