## About

In the distant past, the Mews family had an idea to brew their own beer and sell it through the family pub, the Red Lion. This splendid idea started to germinate, then grew and grew until in August 2018 a baby brewery was born. The proud parents called their new child ‘The Moot Oak Brewing Company’, but he likes his nickname ‘Moot Ales’ better.

Moot Ales lives in the building behind the Red Lion and has been helping his family produce delightfully tasting beers made from super ‘all grain’ ingredients.
