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.

Can from The Fuss Club, Soho. Green (certainly not blue) pour with a white head. Nose is blueberries, raspberries, dark fruits. Taste is full on Slush Puppy action from my younger days - red grape, raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant. Not too much on the sour front, barely there. Uber sweet fruity finish.
