Hot-shot homebrewers Gregg Irwin and Bryan Spooner endured a frustrating start to brewing life as they sought to get their 'experimental, no-holds-barred' brewery up and running. If it was annoying for the pair, drinkers will feel it was worth the wait, particularly those in the west of the city where pubs with decent beer choice are thin on the ground. Although Irwin has now left the brewery, Spooner is maintaining standards.
