## About

Our brewery is housed in a purpose built extension at the  rear of The Volunteer Inn in Seavington Somerset.
The innovative 4 bbl brewery consist of a Hot Liquor tank , Mash tun and Copper all mounted on a stainless steel frame to maintain cleanliness.
We use malt from East Anglia and our hops are supplied by Charles Farams.
As a small brewer we use dried yeasts this is to make sure we have consistent beer. Live yeast needs special care and has a short shelf life which makes things tricky for a small brewer like us.
