Description
Started brewing under this name in 2016. The site was previously Kemptown Brewery in Brighton. In late 2020 we commissioned our brand new, high quality, steam heated brewery in Worthing, West Sussex. It features a 2000 litre brew kit with four 4000 litre fermenters, an automated canning line and large 5oC cold store meaning we can produce, package and store our beer in the best possible conditions. We are also joined by Cloak and Dagger Brewing, renting space on the site, whose beers are also featured in our taproom.

Can from the Hand in Hand Brewpub, Brighton. Peach, passionfruit, grapefruit & lemon zest aromas. Taste is grapefruit, lime, white grape, touch more passionfruit. Nice burst of citrus fruits coming through in the back end. Zesty hoppy zing. Most refreshing indeed.

440ml can (now known as Shaka Original Pale Ale; they've dropped the 'House Pale'. Still 4% ABV, but the hops might have been altered a little too). Anyway, I bought this from Beer No Evil and I am about to drink it in our Air B&B, just down the road late on 19th July 2025. Very pale golden colour, hazed body, weak white head. All a bit watery and fizzy really, some light citrus action and a mini-hop bitterness over a bland maltiness sums it up, a bit of a disappointment to be honest.

Очень странное пиво. Как будто в сухой стаут захерачили копченую рыбу. Как то дикий дисонанс.
