About Hunter's Brewery

The picture on the right is me (Paul Walker) I am in our cold store admiring the first batch of Gold I have just barrelled!

So how did I get into brewing?

Well my back ground is varied, I started my career in production engineering and more recently worked in the Sales industry, however I found I was constantly away from home and my family and had had enough of the corporate life - I needed to follow my dreams…

The rest as they say is history, I found premises on a local farm in our village that needed a total make over as the pictures in our gallery will show!  Next, a lot of hard work and help from friends and people in the community and we were ready to get started.   The kit was purchased from and installed by Moss Brew and I got stuck into the experimental stage. This went very well and successfully I developed my main lines which are all detailed in the beer section.

Setting up a brewery does come with many different challenges, some expected, some not!   There are many variables that need to be taken into account when brewing Ales for instance, controlling the temperatures. The weather affected the quality of brewing and I soon found the brewery needed many changes to allow consistency of brew.

We now have automatic cooling control when fermenting the ales thus taking away this variable and producing quality ales consistently what ever the weather!
