Description
Conceived as a ‘nomadic’ project, The Beak has spent several years creating unfiltered, seasonally-inspired beer with friends at some the greatest UK breweries, including North Brew Co, Partizan, Beavertown, Burning Sky and Northern Monk. We've now laid roots in our hometown of Lewes in East Sussex, where we've built a 15-BBL neighbourhood brewery and taproom with a mixed-fermentation project and weekend street food canteen. Please come and say hi!

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, 10/12/2025
Black with a tan cap that retains.
Nose is chocolate, dark malts, vanilla, mellow roast.
Taste comprises chocolate, mellow roast, toffee fudge, molasses, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a lick of booze.
Tidy enough old skool sipper but I perhaps expected a touch more here.

440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky light yellow golden colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a fresh, smooth, mineral, juicy tropical citrus, mango pineapple, light hop bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A rather simple beer but exceptionally well made.

440ml can. Pours almost black with a beige/tan head. Aroma of roast and chocolate malts with prominent hoppiness, pine and citrus peel. Taste is similarly very hoppy with BIPA like profile of pine and grapefruit, robust malt base of roast and chocolate, moderate bitterness. Medium-full bodied, smooth. Beautiful.
