Our Story

Ever notice how the smallest moments can spark the biggest changes?

In January 2019, Dan, his wife Sam, and his in-laws, John and Trish, found themselves in a cozy micro-pub chatting about the art of brewing real ale. What started as casual pub banter turned into something much bigger—Dan’s new hobby. Armed with a flimsy kit ordered online, he tried home brewing for the first time in his kitchen. Little did he know, that day would brew up more than just beer—it became his passion and a much-needed escape from the stresses of life and his struggles with anxiety and depression.

Within a year, Dan had transformed the bottom of his garden into a small brewery, nestled under the ancient branches of a Copper Beech tree. Our beloved "brew shed" was born, where Dan handcrafted artisan ales with a focus on supporting local businesses and the community. Fast forward to April 2022, we graduated from the shed to a unit in Kidderminster’s Unity Park, and as of October 2024, we’ve taken the leap to Worcester City Centre, now proudly wearing the badge of Nano Brewery—with our very own on-site taproom. As the brewery grew, so did the team. Today, we’re proudly owned and run by four equal partners: founders Dan and Sam, alongside local entrepreneurs and friends Sam and Patch. Together, we share the same vision of great beer and community spirit.

Everything we do is rooted close to home, from sourcing hops to designing our labels. Supporting our local community is at the heart of our business, whether it’s working with other small businesses or initiatives like our ‘delivery with a difference’ scheme during COVID, where we collected food donations along our delivery routes for local food banks. Giving back is something we’ll always strive for—because what’s beer without a little heart?

Ultimately, we’re here to make damn good beer, crafted with care, and served with a reminder of what really matters: taking care of one another. Cheers to that!
