Big Hug Brewing

Client Brewer in Peckham, Greater London, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Established in 2014

Description
Dan and Chris had spent 4 months prior to our launch at Craft Beer Rising looking for a site in almost every corner of London but it became quite obvious, quite quickly, that with the money that we had we weren’t going to be able to do things the traditional way. We couldn’t set up with the right size kit and the right size facility. So with no brewer, no permanent facility and a launch at craft beer rising 2014 around the corner, whilst not initially the plan, we hung our hat on being ‘Hobo’ brewers. Some people call it cuckoo brewing, some people call it gypsy brewing, some people call it contract brewing, some people call it nomad brewing. We prefer the term hobo brewers but whatever you want to call it… its what we do.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours mostly clear, yellow-gold with a rich, pure white foam head. The nose has pale bread, a bit of zesty lemon, some straw. Medium sweet flavor, well balanced, with moderate bitter straw, some crisp biscuits, citrusy hops, some tangerine and lemon, light rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Well balanced on the finish with more biscuity sweetness, light bitter straw and lemon rind, slight cereal, hay. Solid beer. Very drinkable. Nicely done.

Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy pale golden body with a thick white head. Steady carbonation. Nice lacing. Aroma of straw, lemon and a whiff of cannabis. Flavour of lime, white bread and wheat. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily mouthfeel. Light carbonation. A soft, easy drinking IPA.
