About
Founded in 2020, Sureshot Brewing has been a long term project of James Campbell. Everyone with a bitter taste in their mouth knows James. A serial head brewer at some of Manchester’s most respected independent breweries, and pioneer of the best in new world styles and hops to the UK. J.C. has been instrumental in the development of new wave British brewing over the last decade (and then some).
But we're more than a CV, we believe beer is something that’s meant to be enjoyed. That's why we’re focusing on what we know people love: hoppy IPAs, clean lagers, and flavourful, easy-drinking pale ales. Now we're ready to get brewing and release our first beers in 2022.

Keg at Coach & Horses, Soho. Dark cola.brown. Foamy beige head. Aroma has light coffee. Flavourwise there is initial sour berries and coffees and that's kinda it. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. OK.

440ml can. Slightly hazy red with a beige head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, pine, resin. Taste of sweet toffee and caramel malts, strong hoppy notes of pine, resin, some citrus and berries, mild spice, bittersweet. Medium bodied.
Really nice hoppy red, could've got away with calling this a red IPA you know.

Deep dark brown, near black with a frothy than head and a sweet coffee aroma with a hint of chocolate. Smooth and a little creamy, roasted malt with dry coffee bitterness, a touch of sweet chocolate and a very dry, bitter finish.

440ml can. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet mango, grapefruit, grapes. Taste is sweet and fruity, mango, grapefruit, grape, stone fruit. Light-medium bodied, soft carbonation.
Very good, but sweeter and a bit less punchy hop flavour than WCBF's other recent collabs.
