In the media

We are very fortunate to have had plenty media coverage since our launch. See below for just a few examples of these :-

Oz Clarke & James May visited and filmed at the brewery in July 2008 as part of their new series 'Oz and James drink to Brtitain' to be shown on BBC2 from January 2009. It has been confirmed that the brewery will feature in the 2nd episode to be shown at 8pm on Tuesday, 13th January.
