Thank you to everyone who took part in our most successful Ale Trail to date. We had over double the previous year’s finishers!
By taking part you have helped support local pubs at a time that hospitality is struggling with many economic headwinds and also, we hope you had fun.
We are sorry if you were one of the finishers who was unable to collect their much coveted T-Shirt at the finish.
We have just taken delivery of a new batch at the brewery, and your T-shirt will be available for collection from 5pm tomorrow (Friday, 12th April).
Thank you again for your amazing support...

Somers but not as you know it!
Unfortunately, the yeast strain that we used to use for Somers that gave its classic Kolsch style flavour and mouthfeel is being discontinued. Although we could keep producing Somers as it was for another year or so we thought that we would be only delaying the inevitable, therefore we welcome a recipe change to what has been a great beer ever since the first brew over three years ago.
We have sourced a new yeast strain, a true bottom-fermenting lager yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus) which brings back memories of our original lager 'Pilgrim'. This new strain combined with a combination of German noble hops produces a real 'snappy' lager, highly quaffable with herbal, woody and citrus notes. The grist remains the same, Pilsner malt with additions of Vienna and wheat lends itself to the new additions past the mashing process.
We're super excited and thrilled...
