Head Brewer Alex Ratter on recent brews, his new home brewery, his new assistant and his toe...

Hello again.  I can’t remember the last time I put pen to paper – it’s been a long time I know.  The last 18 months have been tumultuous for brewing beer (amongst other things) and all my time has been spent on the brewery floor with precious little time actually sitting down to cogitate over the merits of bottles versus cans, or the meaning of the term craft beer.

We have now officially launched a brand-new range of beers in can. BISHOP NICK CAN’D is a selection of four bold new flavours brewed specifically for 440ml cans and is available now online and at our brewery shop on site in Braintree.
