Patience and a unique perspective on beer is making a West Midlands brewery very desirable
It's a brewery whose owner has the philosophy of giving it time and using what he thinks will provide the right flavour for making beers which are rated highly among those who drink it.

The West Midlands has a long-standing tradition of brewing and beer making.
Breweries have been a part of the region for centuries, providing the welcoming aroma of hops and yeast in the air across the region and many different types of beer loved by thousands.
In the wake of the news of the planned closure of Banks's Brewery in Wolverhampton, the Star wants to support our local breweries and show that there are still many out there producing quality beers to be enjoyed in pubs across the region.
As part of our Backing Our Breweries campaign, we are going to look at what different breweries do, how they grew and built up their reputation, what their products are, how they continue to run in what are difficult financial times and what makes them special.
Some breweries become successful because of following the well-tread path of the traditional way of brewing, producing pale ales, ruby reds and dark bitters.
Other breweries become successful because of taking a different approach to brewing, using their own tastes, experiences and techniques to brew beers with a more unique taste and flavour.
A good example of the different approach working is the Cult of Oak brewery in Cradley Heath, which has taken the techniques of the continent and created something which has received high acclaim from those in the know.
