Brewpub opened in December 2018 by two former employees of the Heavy Industry brewery who started brewing their own beer on site using a 1.5 barrel plant, moving the brewery to larger premises in Denbigh early in 2024. Beers and ciders are dispensed from cask and keg utilising four handpumps on the bar with an additional ten keg pumps on the back wall of the bar. Guest beers are offered from breweries throughout the UK with bottled and canned beers also available. Drinks are available in 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 or pint measures with a large board behind the bar, television screen on the wall and clipboards on every table providing information on beers, strengths and prices available. Tables and chairs are provided on the pavement for, weather permitting, an outdoor drinking experience. Occasional meet the brewer and tap take over events are held with live music performed on most Friday evenings.
