Born and Brewed on the Isle of Wight You may think that being based on the Isle of Wight mightn’t make too much difference to the process of brewing a great pint – whether you call it craft beer or real ale. In fact it makes a lot more difference than you’d imagine. Our barley is grown here on the Island and the mains water supply to the brewery comes via a fresh water spring just a few miles down the road at Knighton. We think that provenance should be taken seriously, so for us these truly local ingredients don’t just make a difference, they make all the difference.
