Here’s a compendium of all the beers we have made in the past. See something you’d like to try? Send us a message. You never know.

Italian Lager

Crisp and dry with a moderate malt flavour. Slight floral hops help achieve a lightly bittered well balanced lager.

Originally commissioned by Carboni’s Italian Restaurant. The style was a little light on for a craft beer, so was superseded by our Bohemian Pilsner.

Malt: Pale, Pilsner

Hops: Green Bullet, Saaz

Bittering Units (IBU): 19

• ABV: 5.0%
• Yeast: Diamond Lager
• Style: International Pale Lager (2A)
• Last brewed: October 2018

A9 to Thurso

Scottish Export 80 Shilling

The A9 to Thurso is full of malt with mellow caramel and light bread notes.
A hint of orange rind adds complexity to the familiar earth and spice notes of English hops.
This is all supported by a smooth clean bitterness which delivers a well balanced malt driven Scottish Ale.

This beer was originally created for GABS 2017. Created using party gyle method where the late runnings of both batches were made into a sixty shilling light ale.

Liam O’Flaherty Irish Red

Like Liam*, this is our first Irish Red. Amber red in appearance, we present a malt driven ale with toast and biscuit notes.
A small addition of roasted barley adds a dry and slightly bitter character.
True to style, we balance this ale with traditional English noble hops.

California Common (Steam) Ale

Northern Brewer hops brings fruit and wood character to our steam ale. A yeast driven dry crispness is rounded by bread and caramel malt notes.
Cross the bridge, enjoy.

Like our ESB, this beer is different to others. The yeast shines, bringing a truly unique flavour profile with subtle tobacco and wood notes (not smoke). These flavours are well supported by the solid malt presence making  this a contender to be brewed again really soon.

Malt: Pale, Crystal

Hops: Northern Brewer

Bittering Units (IBU): 23

• ABV: 5.5%
• Yeast: California Lager 2112
• Style: California Common (19B)
• last brewed: March 2020

Blueberry Berliner Weisse

Blueberries add a balancing sweetness to this traditional double decoction brew. Light bread notes enhance this refreshing and subtle kettle soured ale.

From the 1970’s the style went from lightly sour to extremely so. Publicans added flavoured sugar syrups to compensate making the beer slickly sweet also.

Our interpretation precedes this era to recreate a subtle fruity sourness that won’t have you pulling faces.

Malt: Pale, Wheat

Hops: Hallertau Hersbrucker, Saaz

Bittering Units (IBU): 5

• ABV: 4.5%
• Yeast: Nottingham Ale
• Style: European Sour Ale, Berliner Weisse (23A)
• last brewed: October 2021

Ginger Beer

Our first limited release beer is made from fresh ginger root added to the boil for 10 minutes. A warming big ginger presence is coupled with subtle citrus freshness. It is truly a beer for every season.

This was our first batch made on our pilot system and the brewers first attempt at making a beer from fresh ginger root. The brew was overpowering so was cut with 35% South Pacific Ale which added a complementing citrus note. Ten grams fresh root per litre is ample.

Malt: Pale

Hops: Galaxy

Bittering Units (IBU): 42

• ABV: 5.1%
• Yeast: US-05
• Style: Fruit and Spice Beer (29B)
• last brewed: December 2023

Munich Dunkel

Our version of this traditional lager holds true to its roots with Munich and dark malt bringing bread toast character with a reddish tinge.
Locally grown Chinook hops used throughout gives balance with herbal, spice and grapefruit notes.
A complex and refreshing dark lager.

We were very excited to create a single hop dark lager using local Chinook hops from AC Hops in Dean. Chinook is such a versatile hop making a delicious, subtle grapefruit forward dark lager.

Hops: Chinook

Bittering Units (IBU): 25

• ABV: 4.5%
• Yeast: Diamond Lager
• Style: Dark European Lager, Munich Dunkel (8A)
