Brewed at College Farm, Bourton-on-the-Water, by The Cotswold Brewing Company. The barley for the lagers is grown on Diddly Squat; the apples for the cider are British and freshly pressed, never from concentrate.

What people actually ask.
The two questions this page gets most, answered without a support ticket.
Yes. At checkout, and again at the door. The driver has no discretion about it and neither do we.
Because lagering properly takes weeks in a tank that could be turning over a faster beer, and because the barley is bought at a price that leaves the grower something.
