The home of Spitting Feathers Brewery is Common Farm, built in 1862 in the village of Waverton two miles south of Chester, England.

Established in 2005, Spitting Feathers is born of an enthusiasm for real ale and a belief in the traditional methods of quality beer production. Free from colourings, flavourings and other artificial additives, Spitting Feathers beers are made only from the finest barley malts, wheat, yeast, hops and water.

Spitting Feathers Special Ale is described by the brewery as "a malty, chestnut brown beer. The full malt taste balances well with hop bitterness and fruit flavours".

Sweet malt with plums, blackcurrant, toffee aroma. Light oily body. Spice, wood, caramel, light fruit and grassiness. Bitter sweet finish.
