Some figures to start with: In 2022 we sold just under 1500HL (over 264000 pints), that's an increase of 139% from 2021, and it equates to 30 pints of Bullhouse being consumed every hour of the year.* We produced 27 different beers across 149 batches, including launching two brand new core beers, SUDS and Rolling Papers.
