Verdant Brewing CoVerdant Brewing Co is the result of 3 mens needs to be drinking the beers they like.
Adam & James started out as homebrewers and they decided that they wanted access to more hop forward beers, than they could get in any of their locals. So they started brewing in a shipping container in the Autumn of 2014, they now have their very own building and an additional brewer in Rich, a brewing capacity of 10bbl, with the ability to brew 3 times a week. This is small batch beer.
Think juicy, hoppy, unfiltered hazy beers. Fizzy and cold.

Magic Rock Brewing Co. is the result of three people’s passion for beer: brothers Richard and Jonny Burhouse, aided by head brewer Stuart Ross.
Inspired to start the brewery by their love of great beer and the burgeoning U.S craft beer scene in particular; and driven by a desire to bring exciting characterful beers to their local market and beyond, brewing commenced mid 2011. Jonny sold the majority of his shareholding to Richard in late 2011.
Initial reaction to the beers exceeded expectations and a fantastic first six months culminated in the brewery being named ’2nd best new brewery in the world 2012’ on the independent ratings site Rate Beer. To meet demand, capacity was increased twice in the first year with additional 16bbl fermenting vessels added in October 2011 and again in January 2012.
In 2015 the brewery moved to a new site in Birkby, Huddersfield less than 10 minutes walk from the Town centre. Since moving they have more than doubled our capacity, which currently stands at around 15,000hl pa (2.6million pints). Magic Rock now employ over 30 staff, across the brewery and onsite taproom where their beers can be enjoyed on draught or taken away 6 days a week.

In a world of endless possibilities, they try to explore as many of them as possible, which is why to date they’ve brewed in excess of three hundred different beers: some of them regulars, the odd few occasionals, and far too many one-offs to remember let alone try to name!

Buxton, UK
Buxton Brewery’s first ever brew was mashed-in on a cold, dark, January 1st, 2009. The brewhouse was the family garage and the batch size was about 40 litres.
Fast-forward 6 years and the team, which has steadily grown to be 10 strong is now based in a 7000 square foot modern building on Staden Lane, Buxton. Its custom designed and (British) built brewhouse produces around 3500 litres per brew, 3 times per week.
All of the beers the brewery produces are designed to delight the senses and enthral the drinker. Not all beers are created equal, some are big and strong and full of powerful hops and malts, others are lighter, and have subtle nuances of flavour and aroma. All are intended to be enjoyed as a lovingly hand made product, nurtured by a small team of dedicated beer lovers.
Bristol, UK
Wiper & True fell in love with brewing at home – learning their craft on a kitchen stove with pots, pans and raw ingredients scattered all around them.
As they tinkered, trifled and tweaked recipes, they studied the ancient art of their vocation. Meanwhile, they were lucky enough to get first hand experience at some great breweries and more importantly, from some great brewers.
Whilst paying respect to the traditional craft of beer making, their inclination from those early days has always been to experiment and to play. Whether that’s roasting their own malts, adding wild ingredients such as blackberries and chillies, or ageing their beer on different kinds of wood, their aim is to create something truly special.
Wiper and True. No ordinary beer.

Bristol Beer Factory are not afraid to try anything and the company has a firm belief that all the great ideas are already within the 4 walls of the brewery – it’s just a matter of extracting them out of the team within.

First Chop is beer for everyone – gluten free and vegan.
There is no place for gluten in any beer so we make sure we remove any last trace – we test to show a gluten content of below 5 PPM (parts per million). This doesn’t make the beer taste any different, it is just testament to the stringent quality procedures. Good quality beer is gluten free, many awards are proof of that. Testing every batch so anyone with a gluten allergy or intolerance has that peace of mind.
Shrewsbury, UK
Salopian Brewery was founded as Snowdonia Brewery in 1994 by Brewer Martin Barry at his Pub in North Wales. In 1995 he relocated to Shrewsbury and renamed it Salopian (meaning of Shrewsbury). At that time it was the smallest commercial brewery in the country (not attached to a Pub) with a 2 barrel brewlength.
In 2008 Jake Douglas was recruited as our first salesman, and after a short period he began to influence the production of the brewery as well. A change was made from the traditional to a more modern hop led style. This transition has proved very successful, with sales nearly trebling since 2008 and recognition of the brewery’s prowess at every level of competition. A new 30 barrel brewery was installed in 2010 to cope with demand and when this was overwhelmed the brewery relocated in 2014 to a purpose built 50 barrel plant.

Brighton, UK
LOST & FOUND have an overriding philosophy that guides their culture and sits at the heart of everything they do.
Simply put it is… To make the best contribution they possibly can to their industry, through pursuit of excellence in everything they do. To make beers that challenge and excite, hands-in-the-air-beer designed to delight. To keep experimenting and searching and never stand still. To always use the freshest, finest and most ethical ingredients we can obtain, in line with what mother nature demands. To share the love of this craft with as many people as they can. And of course, to have as much fun as possible along the way. This is why they brew after all!
They go about this manifesto in many ways, but it all stems from the earliest of days, when Lost+Found was a mere 5 gallon brew-lab finding its way in the world. Located in a townhouse garage in the heart of Brighton, we would brew and brew and then brew some more. Splitting and cascading batches as they went through the process, in order to find new and perfect combinations of malt, hops and yeast, with the aim of making fantastic beer we could stand behind and proudly share with our family of friends.
Nothing has changed in that respect. The same applies today as it did in those fledgling days, late at night, fiddling with temperature controls on a hijacked hotpoint fridge. They still strive to push the boundaries of their craft. They still are on that intrepid journey of unlimited possibilities. They still ask the questions – what if they try this and this or even this! (no maybe not that)
They have the same approach to exploration now as they did then. The same commitment to creativity and precision. They hold the same values and still do what they know works best. They stay true to their beginnings and these early ideals. Which is why they continue to pilot brew and acid test every drop they create to let only the best of the best make it through.
County Durham, UK

Mad Hatter was set up in 2013 with no money, but lots of crazy ideas.They’re now pretty big for a craft beer microbrewery, and along the way they’ve had a pop up bar, worn rabbit masks, had lots of parties, and made more mad beers then we can count. As of 2018, Mad Hatter arre one of the a small number of breweries run by a woman, and they have a renewed focus on quality that we’re placing alongside the importance of Mad beers.
They’re named after all the mad hatters, sent mad by the mercury they used to make top hats shiny. They like to think that their beers are so crazy good that they send them a bit bonkers too. The logo also references the conjuring up of good beers with interesting ingredients and different styles that they make.

They then brewed our beers at Gipsy Hill brewery in South London whilst finally establishing their own brewery situated on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border which is now in operation and the home of Clouded Minds brewery.

Odyssey don’t make grand boasts or overblown statements and they never take themselves too seriously.
They don’t sell our beer to supermarkets or to large pub companies: they are independent and they support independent retailers, bars and pubs.
They follow a single, simple mantra – product before profit. Because it’s what’s inside that counts.
Odyssey refuse to compromise on recipes, ingredients or process but they still try to have fun, because they are doing something they love. Their focus is likewise as simple – truly small batch, truly tasty beer.
All of their beer is packaged alive and is unfined, unfiltered and naturally, beautifully hazy. Why? Odyssey believe it just tastes, smells and feels better that way.

“Bermuda”
First appeared in 2016, looks like a commissioner of beers for their licensed Restaurants.
When a U.S. beverage manufacturer fell marginally behind on their financial commitments, we stripped their assets faster than you can say “Read the terms and conditions, moron”. Their loss, your gain!
We’ve been brewing outstanding beers ever since. Fact.

East Sussex, UK
360 Degree Brewing Company was born out of the fact that we are located right next to the Greenwich Meridian in East Sussex, which means we are at zero degrees longitude or 360 degrees longitude, if you look at things from another angle.

London, UK
Roaring Four Brewing Co began in London when four friends decided to take their passion for brewing to the next level.
Multiple trips around the world in search of great beer have taken them from the lambic lands of Belgium through the lagers and weizens of Germany to the pilsners of the Czech Republic and the hop-forward explosion in the US. These experiences, along with their own brewing and experimentation, have given them a respect for the strength of the four main ingredients that make up all good beers around the globe. As the Roaring Four, they brew in homage to these.
Inspired by the endless potential of water, malt, hops & yeast, they’re dedicated to creating great and interesting beers that push the boundaries of bold flavour. They really enjoy making them, and they think you’ll enjoy drinking them just as much.
Wokingham, UK
Great beer is such a diverse landscape, whether it is encapsulating the best a pale ale or light refreshing pilsner can be, or experimenting with high alcohol flavours trying to capture something new, balanced and drinkable, there is something for everyone, every mood, every day.
Siren’s desire is to constantly discover ways to excite curiosity and share their knowledge of their craft. In so doing they believe that beer can be enjoyed in the same way as wine drinkers enjoy the finest wines.
Yorkshire, UK
Yorkshire largely has a traditional ethos when it comes to beer, one which no doubt has it’s place.
However, Summer Wine’s ethos is different: they plan to put Yorkshire beer on the map in a different way, by brewing avante garde beers that make people think twice about what they have accepted as the standard when it comes to beer.
They plan to tear up the rule book & brew beers that demand you sit up & take note by shaking up your senses and thus redefining how Yorkshire beer is percieved.
They believe creativity is a gift that should be explored, this means tradition isn’t always right & that things evolve including beer… They’re in for the long haul & plan lots of unusual stops along the way.
Yorkshire beer is slumbering & Summer Wine are the triple espresso for this lumbering giant…
Yorkshire beer is about to become very lucid.
Bristol, UK
Moor Beer was reborn in 2007 when Californian Justin Hawke purchased the defunct business and created what has become one of the world’s top rated breweries. Named from the Levels and Moors area of Somerset where the brewery originated, Moor Beer moved to central Bristol behind Temple Meads Rail Station in 2014 where it now showcases a Tap Room, shop and tours.
Their inspiration comes from living around the world and working with different beer styles and techniques. They take the German, naturally hazy philosophy, combine it with the American flavour-forward approach to brewing and the British secondary refermentation tradition to create what they call Modern Real Ale.
Beer is about flavour, drinkability and enjoyment. Stemming from their California roots, Moor’s beers are full flavoured, frequently hop-forward, but always balanced and drinkable. This comes from their use of British floor malted barley from one of the last remaining floor maltings in the UK, Tucker’s Malthings of Devon, their use of select hops from around the world and a laser focus on quality at their in-house laboratory.

Their beers are built on the British Cask Ale tradition, Britain’s contribution to the global beer culture. This is a method that allows them to pack large amounts of flavour into relatively low alcohol beers. To this they have added a focus on new beer styles and big flavoured hops from the New World. This enables them to produce bold hop-forward beers that retain balance and subtlety.
West Sussex, UK
Brewing at Gun Hill on a beautiful 140 acre organic mixed farm in the Sussex Weald. The farm has a history of hop growing and some survive to this day in the hedgerows. It’s a lovely place to be and a lovely place to brew.
Gun spent a year refitting the barn, and installing all the equipment themselves, before selling their first pint in January 2015. In making their beer they aim to tread lightly on their surroundings. They generate much of their own power from a 15kw solar array; heating from a wood powered boiler and their spent grains keep the local livestock happy.
All the water used for brewing comes from their own spring source deep below the organically farmed land. The water is microfiltered and UV treated to ensure its purity without the need for chemicals. It’s delicious and great for brewing.
