I'm Mary Ann and hopefully this should make a good read about what's happening around the brewery.

David and I started out with a plan 21 years ago. We decided to build our brewery in a dream situation planted in the hills of Luppitt.

I am just one of those natural Mums who enjoy every job that's thrown at me. Some of those jobs are better than others, but when David asked me to brew beer, well, I could not have been happier.

I come from a long line of brewers, but as men have it, or certainly my father would have it, ‘ladies' didn't brew beer - so I learnt to cook and type and nurse. Then, 20 years ago, my dream came true.

Now of course I'm using my other training as well. I look after everyone here, and take care of the garden, vegetables and willow beds which clean all our dirty water.

I'm always around to help with any job that needs an extra pair of hands and I'm never short of ideas!
