## About

We are a small independent brewery located in Amber Valley, 9 miles from Derby. Our 2 barrel plant is situated in an old slaughterhouse and our cellar is in an old stable. Although extensively restored we have kept certain features which adds a bit of soul and character to the place. From here we produce a small range of quality cask ales using natural products sourced as locally as possible, we don't believe in flying hops half way around the world.

As well as caring for the environment we also like animals and we donate our spent malt to the charity Brinsley Animal Rescue, Boris their blind bull loves it!
