Aside from the technicalities of making great beer, we have another purpose. We are keen to promote mental well being in men. Many men have faced and still face mental and physical health challenges. We recognise that men often find it difficult to talk directly about their issues and the challenges that they are facing. Making beer on brew days takes a good few hours and there’s plenty of time to shoot the breeze about all sorts of things both big and small.
We have a big circle of willing helpers of all ages (above 18) who seem to love learning new skills in the ultimate man cave.
Our mindful activity and the occasional tasting in moderation seems to be very popular with men and gets them out and talking about all sorts of stuff and most importantly enjoying themselves in a non pressured environment.
There is also the added advantage of a sense of achievement from helping make great beer.
