About
Inspired by local brewing traditions and the vibrant US craft beer scene, Magic Rock Brewing is the culmination of a lifelong passion for beer. Richard Burhouse (aided by head brewer Stuart Ross) started the brewery in 2011 in an old out-building of the family business in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
Alongside a distinctive core range we produce an ever changing line up of idiosyncratic beers with an innovative quality driven approach. Our ‘Same but Different’ beers are packed with intense yet approachable flavours which will challenge and inspire, but above all remain balanced and drinkable.

In 2022 Lion breweries sold Magic Rock In Good Company Brewing, who intern sold it to Keystone Brewing Group in 2025, and most recently to The Great British Drinks Company in 2026.

The Fabulist from Magic Rock Brewing
1 year ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Can from Morrisons. Semi-hazed orange with decent white top. Aroma of mango, apricot, pineapple, pine, slight dankness. Taste is quite piney and moderately dank but with grapefruit and mango fruitiness to balance. Quite drying in the finish with a chalkiness but misses something at the end. Nonetheless I found this quite tasty.

Can from Waitrose, Solihull. Semi-hazy orange-gold with small white consistent top. Aroma of pineapple, mango, citrus zest, dust. Taste again is fruity with orange, mango, candied fruit, light hop spice tingle. Semi-drying, medium body, modest bitterness. Lovely level of hops for a £3 can. Slightly off balance. Needed more bitterness to offset the sweetness. Still tasty through.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 1 day before BBE. Murky orange-brown with small off white top. Sweet, orange zest, resinous pine, caramel malts and light dank herbs on the nose. Bittersweet zesty, piney and quite mineral noted, warming and a bit toasty in the finish. Medium+ bodied, zingy carbonation. Lacks a but of finesse but its nice.

6.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 2 months past BBE. Semi hazy gold with small white fine top. Lime comes through in aroma with some apricot and citric like hopping. Taste is the same, quite zesty and pithy, slightly rich but a soft medium body helps. Its ok.

Can from Lidl. 3/4 hazy gold with small white top and decent lacing. Reasonable fruity aroma with mango and gooseberry, light funk and pale malts. Its juicy and dry with a long modest bitterness and light wheat notes. Light to medium bodied. Nothing amazing but very impressive for the price.

Stiggy Pop NEIPA from Magic Rock Brewing

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can from Tesco. 3/4 hazy gold with moderate sized consistent white head. Aroma has very ripe tropical notes of pineapple and mango. Taste has a tropical juiciness with pine oils, spice, bitter citric peel. The addition of rye gives it an interesting malt edge. Medium to full bodied, somewhere between pillowy and oily with a soft carbonation. Very good.

Mild Out from Magic Rock Brewing
1 year ago
7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 7.5
Can from Beer52. Dark brown with moderate sized beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, biscuit, slight earthiness with some sweet notes. Taste has the good malt background with some berry/plum fruitiness and a light floral and spice hop tingle. Light to medium bodied, firmer in body than your average mild, fine carbonation. Good balance. Excellent mild. Magic Rock have certainly got some of their mojo back after changing hands.
