The brewery’s Red Feather bottled beer was awarded a two-star accolade.

“Everyone at the brewery works incredibly hard and we really love what we do, and we want our products to reflect that.

“We are so proud to have our ales recognised in these prestigious awards and grateful for the feedback we received from the judges”.

Judged by more than 500 of the most demanding palates, Great Taste is widely acknowledged as the most respected food accreditation scheme for artisan and speciality food producers.
