Vocation Brewery

One of our first trade customers, the Victorian Craft Beer Cafe in Halifax, celebrate their 10th Birthday this month, and we leapt at the opportunity to help them create a special brew to celebrate! A deep, malty base blends effortlessly with bold  aromas of freshly baked bread and flavours of rich toffee and a hint of hedgerow berries. A luscious  full-bodied mouthfeel balanced by a subtle bitterness and earthy floral notes from the classic British hops of  East Kent Holdings & Fuggles. Available at the Vic now alongside a very special, exclusive barrel aged cask release, as well as all Vocation & Co venues and a bar near you!

It’s not always #grimupnorth - despite the grey and rainy day we’ve had up in Leeds! Two weeks ago it was blue skies and sunshine as we went to visit the amazing team at Vocation Brewery. We’ve been honoured to work with them for over half a decade, assisting their every day operations with automation integrations, expansions, process upgrades, including CIP and yeast farm. But there’s no better sight than the 29 external fermentation vessels gleaming in the sun as you drive over the hills. We created bespoke 100HL DPV’s, each with a flowplate and pipework fabricated at our facility to minimise installation time. All whilst keeping in mind the confines of the space, allowing for room for the brewers, and working to the height restrictions set within this area of outstanding natural beauty. #SSVLimited #notgrimupnorth #VocationBrewery #expansion #bespoketanks #restrictedspace #outstandingnaturalbeauty #blueskiesandstainlesssteel

A fun day at the Head Office last week for the re-release of Knockout, our classic, no-nonsense stout. Coming out at the same time as a brand new stout, Pastel De Nata, we did something slightly different for this one to set it apart. The office enjoyed the friendly competition, so what should we do next??
