Description
Beat brewery began as the idea of one man’s daydreaming in corporate training days, which he turned into a reality. Created in Somerset the idea expanded over a couple of years to a point where demand had meant more time & investment was needed. In July 2018 Beat Brewery was purchased by Topcat Brewery Limited and relocated up the M5 and is now brewed in Lye situated in the heart of the West Midlands.

We have made a promise to remain true to all recipes and ingredients that were originally created in Somerset, so to keep that beautiful Beat Brewery taste.

We are a genuine microbrewery.

Bottle from the brewery. Cloudy gold with small white head. Aroma of light grainy malts, yeasty funk, flora. Its light bodied, yeasty, grainy, some floral hops, some citrus zest but generally lacks a fruitiness to bring it together. Not a big fan of this but its ok.

Bottle direct from the brewery. Pours dark brown-near black with small beige top. Aroma of roast, yeast, blackcurrant, light coffee. Taste of roasted malts to the fore, tangy berries, wood, liquorice. Dry and bitter finish. Body a little on the light side but nice fine carbonation. Quite nice.

7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottle from the brewery. Slightly hazy amber with moderate white head. Aroma of tea, grass, overripe orange, lime and mango, light funkiness. Taste of caramel malts, stewed mango, citrus zest, resin, tea. Smooth body, soft carbonation. A bit too malty for an APA but regardless, the balance between malt and hops here makes for a very tasty beer.

6.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bottle from the brewery. Pours black with small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, tangy berries, lactose, quite sweet. Taste again is sweet with lactose notes. Chocolate and berry notes are also prominent and tasty with the roasted element more in the background. Halfway towards sickly sweet so maybe a touch unbalanced. Not bad though.
