The brewery, which opened in June, has been trialing five new beers to expand its range as it ramps up production.

Nick said: ‘Two weeks ago we began to produce beer on a much bigger scale. We have the capacity to create 10 to 15 thousand litres of beer every two weeks, which is really high volume. This means we can now service our tap house with our own beers as well as guest beers.
