A Potent brew Of Drama, Comedy and Romance.

Inspired by true events, this is the story of a West Country Brewery, barely surviving at the end of the Second World War, and a young Brewer, dedicated to resurrecting its reputation for producing top quality beer.

Basil Porter, a newly demobbed Intelligence Officer, is taken on as Head brewer of Holt Bros. Ltd. in the small seaside town of Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset.

His Challenge is to oversee the restoration of the Brewery.

However, a powerful adversary has a very different agenda, and is determined that he will not succeed. A Conflict interest develops between a traditional way of life, at the heart of the community, and the remorseless march of corporate greed.

Besides our main protagonists, a whole host of endearing, comic and eccentric characters flavour to the mix.
