In 2003, six months after start-up, my beers were supplied to the CAMRA festival
at Peterborough, which after London is the biggest UK beer festival. In the
new brewery class in which there were over 60 beers, 'Blythe Bitter' was second.
I have been fortunate with others awards since.

The brewery idea
started in 2002 at a converted barn in rural Staffordshire. Overlooking
fields and the river Blythe this has proved to be the perfect location.
All the beers produced are traditional cask or bottle-conditioned.
Actual brewing started in 2003 and the plant is small at only 2.5 barrel
capacity (90 gallon)
Two beers were initially produced but this has now expanded to five all-year
round beers plus seasonals and specials. All the beers are names after local
people, places or events.
A third fermenting vessel was installed in 2005 and at most 1200 litres are produced per week.
