The Boilerhouse: Craft Pale by J.W. Lees & Co. at The Weavers Arms

A fine fruity pale ale. Good citrus notes. Nice light floral nose.

The Boilerhouse: Craft Pale by J.W. Lees & Co. at The Boathouse

Light crisp pale, the ideal sessionsble choice on a summers day. Hoppy with a subtle almond note at the heart, slightly hazy too but adds to the crisp finish.

OUR SMALL-BATCH MICROBREWERY

In a quiet corner of our brewery yard, up a small, clanky metal staircase, is an unassuming green door. Behind it once stood the boiler, now redundant and removed, the steam ceased to billow above the old boiler house. Until now. With the void created by the removal of the boiler tank, we gained space for a different kind of tank and, above all, a space to think. A thirst for experimentation is part of our DNA: lagers in the 50s, Moonraker in the 60s, Harvest Ale in the 80s, and any number of seasonal ales and collaborations more recently. Today, behind that small green door is where we brew our small batch beers. It’s a place to foster that spirit of innovation and to explore distinctive, challenging new beers—brewing them with integrity in just the right amounts. We’re on a mission to experiment with new styles and varieties of beers, but with nearly 200 years of brewing history behind us. This is the next chapter of Greengate Brewery’s story. And when we talk of this initiative, this innovation, it will simply be known as The Boilerhouse.
