brewing beers in a far corner of kent…

Situated in West Hythe, our brewery is overlooked by the 12th Century Lympne Castle...along with the Rhinos at Port Lympne Nature Park!

Our head brewer, Daryl, learnt the brewing trade in the Blue Mountains of Australia, bringing back a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm after an eventful year of travelling down under.

Honing the techniques and recipes which have in turn been scaled and improved over the last 10 years to where we are today, producing some of the most talked about beers in Kent.

Producing some rather successful test batches in the garage, with overwhelmingly positive reviews from unbiased (maybe a little biased) friends and family, the dream of creating our very our brewery seemed the obvious next step.

As with any great idea, plans were made over a few beers and we dived head first into the world of brewing, setting up shop in our little unit in West Hythe, Kent...

Things started small, a tiny 100 litre system produced our initial batches, barely enough to fill 2 casks a time! We outgrew this almost overnight, setting about building a bigger, more refined system a few months down the line.

We now brew on a bespoke, 900 litre system, capable of brewing twice a day - backed up with a bank of four 2000 litre fermenting tanks and two bright tanks.

Doing our bit to keep things green

Going Solar

Solar panels on the roof generate 100% renewable energy. This helps keep some of our smaller pieces of equipment running, helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
GREEN WASTE

Our spent hops are used by local gardeners as fertiliser…Some are even growing local hop plants which we in turn use to make special seasonal beers!
FAT PIGS

Our waste is collected by a local pig farmer. The hungry pigs make short work of everything we can throw their way and make delicious sausages!

We crafted our first beers on a tiny, home-brew system in the garden shed.
