It opened for business in May 2006 after the launch of its inaugural brew at the 33rd Cambridge beer festival. The Maris Otter barley malts used in the production of the beers are sourced from Warminster Malting and the traditional English hop varieties, including Challenger, Fuggles, Goldings and Boadicea, are provided by hop merchant, Charles Faram. The main stainless steel brewing vessels consist of Fermenters, a Copper, Hot liquor tank and Mash tun The brewery currently produces 4,500 pints on a single brew day with the capacity to brew 4 times a week.

Tiddly Vicar is a dark copper ale brewed with Maris Otter barley, Amber malt and North Down Goldings hops. This is a smooth, nutty beer with a spicy finish. Try with smoked mackerel or game pie. Also makes for a good barbecue beer.
