To celebrate our move to Ark Farm Tiffield we brewed a special beer. The locals at the George Tiffield were asked to suggest a name and we selected Golden Ark. It is a 4.0% golden ale brewed with Goldings, Galena and NZ Hallertau Aroma hops

Brewery has moved

Phil — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 21:23:10 +0000

After 7 years at Great Oakley it was decided to re-locate the brewery to Tiffield.

The move was finally completed on the weekend of 11/12 February with the first brew quickly following.

With the ever increasing cost of fuel it became unrealistic to continue the daily commute to Corby.

The brewery is now situated at Ark Farm, Tiffield where it will be business as usual.

The location has changed but the name hasn’t.
