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.

Appearance is straw, with a huge pillowy white head. Aroma is citrus fruit, pine, hops, malty hints. Taste is pineapple, grapefruit, hint of gooseberry, stone fruit, hints of juicy hops. Quite refreshing.
