Description
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 have sold Magic Rock to Odyssey Inns.

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.

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.

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.
