Description
I started volunteering at Gipsy Hill Brewing company who kindly gave me a chance to help and start learning about the trade. I still remember my very first job. It was February time and I was washing casks out in the cold and rain, thinking what have I got myself into. I’m so glad I stuck with it, hard work but so rewarding. After 5 or so months I then volunteered at Fourpure too who eventually offered me a permanent role and eventually moving into a brewers position. I learnt so much at Fourpure and worked with some amazing people. After a few years I moved to West Sussex where I brewed for Arundel Brewery but deep down I wanted to do my own thing, produce my own beer, start my own journey.

At the beginning of 2018 Little Monster Brewing Company was born. The name came from Brenden’s daughter who he calls affectionately, “my Little Monster”. The name came instantly to Brenden as he wanted to dedicate all that he did to his little girl and the inspiration she gave him.

The name, Little Monster Brewing is fresh, modern and fun. Exactly the approach to the beer he makes.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate beginning smooth, decent fine minerally carbonation emerging late on. Smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine hops, fair dose of modern Mosaic candy fruits. Bright Idaho 7 citrus and tropical fruits on the back end but Mosaic dominates. Quite a sweet IPA but drinks fine.
