The brewery: "Our brewing plant capacity has been upgraded over the years and now is
now 100 brewer’s barrels (28,800 pints) per week, which allows us to
meet demand during peak periods. It consists of second hand vessels
customised to form our liquor tanks and copper. Our fermenters and mash
tun were custom built by a local company – Fabdec in Ellesmere. Most of
the brewery parts and accessories, such as the sparge-arm, condenser and
automated cask-washer, were designed and built by our very own on-site
engineer, Iain. We have also invested in our bottling line and do all
our own bottling on site.In 2013 we constructed a purpose built, energy
efficient brew house, and we’re always looking for ways to improve our
environmental impact by saving water and energy"
The beer: "A traditional, amber coloured bitter. Full bodied, very drinkable session beer with a perfect balance of fruity hops and roasted malt."
