Description
We're a Leeds based craft beer brand hell-bent on producing exhilarating and kick-ass beer!

We bring you craft beer with a nostalgic twist, born from influential culture of the 80's & 90's.

At the heart of Play Brew Co is an obsession for creating quality beers. That all started back in 2014, when our founder Phil embarked on a journey of home brewing after being inspired by the craft beer cropping up in Leeds.

2017: It’s been a long road but we are delighted to announce that Play Brew Co’s first trio of beers is hitting bars and stores in the North of England. The Arcade ‘86 Series is a collection of three recipes that pay homage to Phil’s favourite beers – tying his experience of home brewing and his on hand experience at brew labs together.

Draft at Industry Tap. Milky yellow pour, one finger creamy white head, lacing. They're calling this an American pale, but it it's hazy and more tropical than anything else. Fruity, tropical aroma. Taste is papaya, guava, floral. Not so exactly bitter, but a teensy bit rough. Juicy, creamy, smooth.

Аромат в меру сладкий, немного ягодный, есть черешня и немного сморожины, легкие нотки зефира. Цвет черешни, слегка мутный, пены почти нету. Вкус в меру кислый, а затем немного пломбирности при глотке, снова немного ягод. В целом пить можно, но вообще средне.

Аромат сразу химический, прям апельсины не к месту как будто, а так есть немного шоколада еще с кака. Цвет темный, пенка средняя. Ну вкус просто дико химозный, прям совершенно не естественно. А на вкус как будто кислота апельсиновая из пакетика. Шоколад есть при этом, но картину он конечно не фиксит. Мимо и химично.

(Draught at BrewDog Camden, London, 21 Nov 2024) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, milky coffee and liquorice. Malty, roasted, sweet taste with chocolate truffles, milky coffee, liquorice, black bread, vanilla, caramel and a mild cacao bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but rich and chocolatey. Very nice.
