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.

Black beer, solid tan head. Smells sweet and malty with caramel too. Flsvour has biscuity malt, light caramel, a little cream and milk chocolate. Sweet, smooth, decent body and super drinkable.

18th beer of the St Albans bus replacement crawl. Aroma berries, vanilla, meringue and cream, raspberry (essentially a raspberry pavlova). Not overly sour, more tart than sour. Fruity and decent finish. Albeit watery.
