Description
Beat brewery began as the idea of one manโs 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.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 30/6/2016. Pale gold in colour, with a decent, white, head. Aroma of tropical fruits, sweetish malts and some citrus hops. Flavour had plenty more fruit, biscuity malts and a touch of sweetness before a dry finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 30/6/2016. Near black in colour, with a tight, off-white, head. Aroma of chocolate, blackcurrants and some toasted malts. Flavour was similar, leading to a dryish finish. Enjoyable.
