BREWERY
State of the art eco brewery
Rock the Boat Cask Conditioned Ales are exclusively produced and meticulously hand-bottled at our brewery, nestled within the charming Little Crosby Village conservation area.
Our 8-barrel brew house is situated within a beautifully converted 17th-century wheelwright's workshop, and it commenced brewing operations in July 2015.
Little Crosby boasts a rich history dating back to the 11th Century, and it was one of the few recusant villages that persevered during Henry VIII's English reformation.
Traditionally, the village was renowned for its unique identity, often described as the village of three Ps: no paupers, no protestants, and notably, no pub. While we've introduced a brewery to the mix, the absence of a pub remains a charming constant.
