About
Crazy beer made on the south coast. Keep it weird, be BRZN.
Began life early 2019 as a cuckoo brewery, initially at Loud Shirt, before setting up their own brewery in a shipping container at Cobblers Thumb, 10 New England Road, Brighton BN1 4ZR at the start of 2020. Set up The Brzn Arms at 62 Beaconsfield Road, Brighton BN1 4QJ in 2021 as a taproom and registered office.
Brewing moved during early/mid 2023 to ‘the farm’, but it was announced 2 Oct 2023 that due to waste drainage issues, brewing would take a short hiatus, and they would return to their cuckoo brew roots at Loud Shirt, Hand Brew Co and others.
The Brzn Arms closed late Nov 2024 following the sale of the building, with the registered office changing to Unit 6a Garcia Trading Estate, Canterbury Road, Worthing BN13 1AL (home of Cloak & Dagger and Unbarred Production Brewery).
Cuckoo brewing appears to have stopped as check-ins ceased February 2026.

On tap at Old Bike Store Worthing. Clear amber colour lasting white head. Bit sweet and chewy. it's got the pine and resin in spades I liked it but then i like this style bit obvious on the alcohol but a decent stab at the style. Good bitterness on the finish ok just needs a bit of refinement

Keg at Bison Beach Bar at Level One, Worthing. Great beer name (I loved that film!). A cloudy orangey-pink brew with a thin white head. Raspberry flavour, but not overwhelmingly so - you can still taste a hint of a lemony pale ale behind. Dry raspberry leaves follow. It's rather thin and watery and the flavour is a tad insipid, but it was quite a pleasant one to drink at this great venue overlooking the sea on a sunny evening. It's an OK beer.

Keg at the Crow, Sheffield. Light gold, hazy, zero head. Sweet smell of candy floss, lemon drops and a toich of whisky. Taste is sweet as well, some fruit brandy, some apricot crumble. Oily body with medium carbonation. Luscious.

Keg @ Beer Dock Tap 40. Pours unclear yellow, thin white sheet atop. Pleasant raspberries and lactose on the nose. Creamy palate, good raspberry presence with nice lactose integration, really comes together well. Very good introduction to this new brewery.

Keg Pond, Brighton. It pours bright golden with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, bright, fruit cocktail, vanilla ice cream, fruity milkshake, sweatiness and orange creamsicle. The taste is sweetish, tangy fruits, fruit cocktail, orange creamsicle, vanilla cream, fruit salad sweets, light toastiness and custard creams with just a hint of thta 8% alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. This isn't my usual kind of thing due to the sweetness, but this works pretty well. A promising start.
