John our head brewer has been brewing for over 30 years. Initially from kits but soon moving onto all grain brewing (early 80's). Opening a micro has been an ambition since 2000, but the day job' prevented the dream becoming reality. In 2007, this situation changed, allowing more time to plan the micro. For the brewery's name, we were looking for something simple and recognizable. Several options were considered and Red Brewery was born. The search for premises started in 2010, it was difficult to find somewhere with the correct combination of attributes. In 2011 we came across a grain store on Garden Farm in Gt Staughton, Huntingdonshire, in England. The unit had a few drawbacks ! it was twice the size we needed, it had no water supply. The unit had an electricity supply which would overload boiling a kettle and there were no drains. Undeterred, our landlord split the premises in two, we installed a new power feed from the main supply, installed drains, built a cold room and store, installed 2000 liters of water storage on the roof and cleared out the doves ! - In April 2012 we brewed Gyle 1, this was our Staughton Bitter, closely followed by Sundial and All Saints. With increasing sales and demand, Joseph and Rob joined the business in November 2014. We now brew two or three times a week, keeping our brewing style simple and repeatable. We use the best Norfolk Maris Otter malt and the finest quality hops. We never add grist adjuncts or sugar. Once fermented, our beer is fined with Isinglass, racked and stored at 10-12 deg C for a week, then it is either bottled or sold in casks, ready for you to enjoy.

Smart move - you've found the Sweet Spot
When it comes to wine, a small step in price = a HUGE leap in quality and taste.
By spending £8-£11 for a bottle of wine, you're actually getting more than DOUBLE the quality of wine than a £6-£7 bottle.
Here's how it works...
In your average £6-£7 wine most of the price goes on fixed costs like taxes, duty, bottling and transport... leaving fewer pennies for the wine itself.
But by spending just a pound or two more, the majority of those fixed costs stay the same, so more pennies are going straight into the stuff you can actually taste, creating a big leap in quality.
