The tap room is closed for the winter of 2024/25 though beer may still be bought for home consumption.

Beer production started here in the Summer of 2020 and there are usually at least two beers available for takeouts or for drinking in the taproom on the days it is open. Situated in the Maple Leaf Business Park the brewery and taproom are together for a drinking at source experience. Currently the taproom is downstairs but the upstairs is being prepared to accommodate larger numbers. The brewery name and logo reference the Maunsell sea forts north of Herne Bay, which were built during the Second World War. In the mid-1960s the forts at Shivering Sands become home for a while to pirate radio stations, including Radio Sutch set up by Screaming Lord Sutch.
