CAMRA said: "After using spare capacity at other breweries in 2013, a 10-barrel plant was established in 2014 in a Grade IIlisted mill. In 2017 a much larger second site with canning line was opened. 2019 saw further expansion into the adjacent former Leeds Brewery site, with a new 50-hectolitre brewkit installed in 2021. The mill hosts a taproom and events space. Most production is keg but cask-conditioned beer is available."
