Overview
- The film opened in the UK on March 6 and is now playing in cinemas nationwide.
- Set on the Somerset–Wiltshire border, it follows a bereaved family at The Drovers who begin brewing to enter the Great British Beer Awards against wealthier rivals at The George.
- Martin Clunes, James Buckley and Jonno Davies star in a feature directed by Nick Moorcroft from a script co‑written with Meg Leonard.
- Early reviews diverge, with Radio Times finding a cosy if familiar charmer and Empire dismissing it as “parochial pub‑based piffle.”
- Production used west Wiltshire locations including Westbury and the White Horse and draws on real inspirations from a community‑bought Welsh pub and an Essex family brewery, with themes touching on UK pub closures and mental health.
