So, after a strenuous few months of hard research (hic!!!) the brewery went into production on 4th July, 2006. Our original capacity was 5 BBL or about 1400 pints! Our first brew, 'Summer Virgin' was voted Beer of the Festival at the 2007 CAMRA Chelmsford Summer Beer Festival.
In 2008 Sophie de Ronde, BSc. Hon. joined us as a brewster. She is at the hub of the brewery helping us with 3 more category winning ales at the 2009 festival.
