Dogs welcome but please keep them out of the brewing area and under control like your kids 

We have flat / sloped access though being primarily a brewery our toilet facilities may not suit the less able among us.

The Cat is out of the bag, I’ve no idea why the cat was in there in the first place as it all sounds rather cruel…
That aside, we have been cruel to you for over a year and only cryptically teased with the Two Lapels (Anagram) and Common Chord (Old Map) pumpclips. We felt it polite on the Tenant not to go blurting out where it would be.

Our tenant has now left and we can start planning what we are going to do with the building to turn it into a pub.

Our hops & dreams

We have 3 floors, we will probably never use the top floor but who knows, someone like a food trader might fancy making a business up there or we turn it into offices.
We want to have a community aspect to the pub as we will have room to accommodate local community groups etc
We will have a nice little sun-trap of a Beer Yard out back, needs TLC, thinking we may need to move the backdoor and widen it and add a ramp.
First job is to get a bit of roofing done and I’m hoping for Solar Hot water panels on the roof and bang a Velux or similar in there.
The big blue sign at the front needs some investigating to see where the Roller shutters roll up to and see if we can open the first floor windows back up to their former glory, possibly front and back.
The entire first floor may be a secondary project to be done after we get a functioning bar on the ground floor, though toilets will be created upstairs.
We want to put toilet facilities on the ground floor with access for anyone less able.
We want to explore the idea of having some lower service and table areas to make us more accessible.
We will definitely explore the idea of serving more of our beers in a Vegan state, if we head in this direction then we will ensure all our drinks are acceptable to people not wanting to consume animal products.
We hope to do some simple bar nibbles.
We will try hard not to serve anything that JDW, Supermarkets or Tied Pubs swerve and instead support smaller and independent drinks businesses.
4 Rotating Wishbone Cask beers on handpull.
8 ish Keg beer lines with a mix of Wishbone and other indie brewer’s keg beers.
Staff: we’ll be in need of a trustworthy manager to ensure our customers and well received and accommodated, plus other staff.

We will be here!

Things to do first

We’ve setup the Ltd Co, registered for VAT, new bank account soon, need to then look at a mortgage to release funds for improvements, I should probably write a business plan (meh!), Change of use for the building and apply for alcohol license.
Check what electrics and water supply we have to work with.
Investigate the Cellar, we apparently have a cellar full of Rubble so this is the key to how we use the rest of the building, anyone feeling strong and enjoy hauling buckets of rubble / filling skips / and getting black bright?
Pretty much everything needs ripping out, hope we find a few original features we can bring back to life.

Crowdfunder?

Wish us luck!

We did a thing with the guys from The Draughtsman in Doncaster, its this funky little pub with a proper professional feel to it. Its an IPA brewed with the Verdant yeast, almost entirely Simcoe hops with just a soupcon of Citra to bring a rounding-out effect.

You may have to like Synth music to appreciate the beer name, its good to be able to bring Modular Synth music and Beer together.
If you randomly like a bit of Eurorack Synth music you could always give our Youtube channel a go and see what its all about.

Sorry its all been supped before I got around to posting about it, we brewed this as a Birthday special with our friends at the Boathouse in Skipton. We took the Tiller Pin recipe and boosted it in all the areas that would give it the fullest rounded flavours, used the Lallemand Verdant yeast on it for Maximum haze and dry hopped it twice in the FV. Call it a DDH if you like, I try not to call things DDH (Double Dry Hopped) too many times even though some of our beers are DDH as it all becomes a bit of a sausage-fest with every brewer shouting about DDH FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) beers 😉

Rest assured we will be brewing this beer again because it was rather blooming good #DDH!

New beer ready in Cask and keykeg, Centennial and Enigma hops in a big dank and bitter IPA with a good whack of bitterness.

Amazing the beer names you come up with after you’ve given a Sabro & Motueka beer a name already!

Meet ‘Rubix Cube’ 4.5% Dry Hopped Pale ale with American Sabro and New Zealand motueka hops, its very tropical, pineapple, coconut, Lilt ™, lime.

We are setting the dates! We always have vegan beers on the bar but we might just make more of the Vegan for this event.
Remember all our Keg beers are always Unfined & Vegan, so we will make sure you can drink plenty of Vegan Cask too.

Friday 15th April 4.30 til 10pm
Saturday 16th April 12.00 til 7 or 8pm

We are still working on brewery modifications to install, though we realise that nothing is going to happen on time or quickly, hence us setting bar dates, it it will be really nice to have the folks from Wrapture doing the food. Check out our Events calendar for which beer fests you can find our bar at in the coming months too.

We had our good friend Chris from Second Sight Brew Co over on Thursday and we brewed the Fairlight Session Pale, 3.8% Simcoe & Citra, this time fermenting it with a low attenuating London Ale yeast, adding more malt and a hint more Dry hopping to the recipe. This should add some more body and sweetness and help display the hops.
