Our view is that each one of our beers is distinctive in its own right, we don’t believe in bland. For example MASH Pale is a bit of a hybrid and could be classed as a “lager” but with a nod to West Coast American craft brewing styles. At the other end we have a moreish Chocolate Stout with a range of roasted malts and dark chocolate added into the boil. These are at two ends of the scale but united by our desire to bring you beers of true character.
Whatever the occasion drinking at home or out at one of Britain’s great pubs we believe that you will enjoy our beers whatever you are doing. We love making our beers and we hope you will love drinking them too.
