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.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/08/2011. Pale gold in colour with a billowy white head. Big, tropical fruit and grapefruit hop aroma. Flavour had some creamy malts, plenty more fruit and dry, slightly chalky finish. Very enjoyable.

Cask, half pint served in a mug at CP&K, Pimlico. Fresh tropical fruits to the nose. Juicy-like taste of lemon and a solid dose of grapefruits. Fruit-bitter finish. Flavoursome for the low alcohol strength. Well done, rather unvaried, though (London, 30.07.2011).
