Our Beers
Brewing takes place up to five times a week, with malt from Warminster, hops from Charles Faram and their own yeast, which is a very versatile one and a similar strain to Youngs.
The 12 brewers barrel brewery is located in a brand new industrial unit. There is a mixture of dish top & bottom fermenters for producing the core range as well as English built cylindroconical fermenters for producing more hop forward beers under the Great Uncle John’s range.
We have a diverse range of beers with colours, strengths & flavours to suit everyone’s palate.
