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.

Clear golden pour with a small white head. Overall, a decent Pilsener, not overly bitter, but also markedly more exciting than a lager. Enjoyed it.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Wonderful Peachy Nectarine snout. Smooth palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a nice creamy sweetness. Soft piney hop intro that is accompanied by mild hop spice and notable but unobtrusive bitterness. Soft but rich citric, not super bright but neither is it dull. A light hop skunk savoury aspect underneath. Soft and somewhat generic tropical fruits and mild candy fruits before the light finish. A hop spicy and savoury linger has real legs. Nice dipa, a very good marriage of rich hoppy fruits, spice, skunk and unusually, a decent bitterness. Lacks the hop brightness of the best but has more than enough going on to push it into the top league for me.

Can. Hazy yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth light palate, a little thin and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thinnish malts but certainly enough creamy sweetness. Light crispy pine into a thin, but still pleasing, Nectaron peachy tropical fruits. A touch of savoury skunk before modest El Dorado Sakura, that I probably can only taste because of confirmation bias! Light and fairly dry finish. Nice beer, just a tad on the dry side for me.
