From an empty shell, to a pint of beer - in pictures.

The front of the building/brewery as it was.

And from the inside - still open plan throughout the ground floor.

Building work gets underway

The brewing plant is delivered.  It’s obviously quality plant as the delivery driver is gutted at having to drop it off.

Installation day - the inimitable Dave Porter with electrician John Lloyd.

The “hydrating head” in full flow.

Sexy isn’t she ?

At last - the first brew !!!

Filling the malt hopper.

Bittering hops, as supplied by the Red Hand Gang.

Aerating the wort into the fermenter.

And finally enjoying the fruits of their labour, Brewers Chris Radford and John Hirst sampling a couple of swift halves of the first Brampton Ale to drop out of a cask in over half a century.
