What do we know about a brewery?
This brewery is located on a 100 acre historic Monkton farm.
It is a farm brewery.
Why this brewery matter?
Like a farm restaurant whose menu ingredients are from their farm; a farm brewery makes and sells beer from the ingredients grown on the same farm.
This farm brewery (Inverness brewery) harvested 600 hops plants. While "farm to table" is famous, Inverness's "crop to keg" is making the trend.
