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.

Draft at Steamworks, Seaford. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with an everlasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light yeasty. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, funky, earthy, light herbal, floral, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured almost black in colour with a very short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light banana. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a roasty, big banana, light coffee, light liquorice vanilla palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation after the initial fizz. Ok, but way too sweet for me. It feels like they added extra sugar and the coffee was super light. I’m not keen on fizzy stouts either.
