Since 2011

Two names,
one XT

XT is Xifaras and Taylor — Gareth and Russ, who fired up an 18-barrel plant at Notley Farm back in 2011 and never looked back. Every drop is brewed on-site for cask, keg, can and bottle.

We run a modern, efficient brewery that keeps energy and water use low — and almost nothing goes to waste. Spent grain heads to local farmers for cattle feed and soil, so the beer gives back to the land it's brewed on.
