The beerage

Keystone Brewery in Berwick St Leonard, Wiltshire, is small but perfectly formed. Founded last year by Alasdair Large — late of the Royal Tank Regiment — and his wife, Charlie, Keystone is as micro as they come. The workforce comprises just Alasdair (brewing and deliveries) and Charlie (sales and marketing). Charlie’s brother Nick occasionally lends a hand and a brace of grannies helps out babysitting the Larges’ three-year-old son, Bertie.

‘It’s going well,’ Alasdair told me as we sat over our pints of Large One in the nearby Beckford Arms. ‘We’ve just won a Gold Award from the Society of Independent Brewers for our Gold Spice, with its little zing of ginger, so the hard work is paying off. We’re barely a year old, but the sooner Bertie faces up to his responsibilities and pulls his weight the better. After all, family brewing dynasties have to begin somewhere. All he’s done so far is to rechristen our Gold Spice, Gingerman Juice.’
