They belong to the same company as Wychwood and appear to be brewed in several places. refreshuk Sorry, read the link properly now. They're brewed in Witney.

You say that, but whilst you were at work your OH has accepted a takeover bid from Interbrew and future batches of your homebrew are to be produced in a factory in Walsall.

Actually from T&M - whose seeds are on the whole over priced bar loss leaders, mostly F1's and not the best germination rates. I only use them if freebies.

The beer, I think, is made by Wychwood brewery in Oxfordshire. (Hobgoblin, Brakspear et al).
