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.

Draught keg at Sommar Leicester. An ominous reddish brown, clear without any head. Light aroma dominated by sour cherry, maybe some dark chocolate notes. Taste is... wow. Intense sour, lots of cherry to the fore. Fades quickly to leave Montmorency cherry abounding on the tongue. Man, this will give you gout and cure it at the same time. Watery body, low carbonation. Almost getting some vinegar at the finish, remeniscent of a Flanders red. A mixed bag but overall pretty impressive.

Taste comprises hedgerow, berry pips, shades of Danelion & Burdock, herb, red very skin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Fun enough sour if lacking some wow.

Aroma of gooseberry, burnt printcard. Tastes a lot like dishwater, artificial feeling, sopy taste.
