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.

[Bottle at the Bootlegger, High Wycombe] Gold with a large white head and a hint of fizz. Tropical fruit and pine aroma continues into the bitter, hoppiness. A little on the thin side - one of those American style beers which is all about hops and regrettably without any malt balance. Nevertheless, it’s pleasantly refreshing.

Cask at CBC, London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Big hop aroma, tons of pine and grapefruit. Medium sweet flavor with a lot of bitterness to balance out. Plenty of pine and grapefruit, some mild honey and caramel, toasted straw. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild warmth in the finish, orange and grapefruit citrus, some grass and mild pee, toasty malts and sugar. Incredible. I can’t really imagine this beer being any better.

Keg at CP&K. It pours deep orange, with a thick off-white head. The nose is pine, herbal, orange citrus fruits and spice (akin to Persian flatbread). The taste is zesty orange, mango, apricot, sweet tangerine, tangy marmalade, resin, pine grass, leather and alcohol warmth, with a long bitter finish. Medium to full body and fine carbonation. Nice.
