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.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a thin sweetness. Soft cooling pine. Decent hop fruits, reasonably bright citrus, a little Motueka lime and mild stone fruits. No hop spice. Light semi dry finish. Light, fairly bright and quite drinkable but a bit thin bodied and lacking hop edge.

440ml can. Pours black with a big tan head decent retention. Aroma of maple syrup, fudge, chocolate. Taste is very sweet, maple and fudge dominate, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, booze is well integrated. Very full thick body, creamy texture.
Contrary to what others have said this was exactly as sweet as I expected - which, as delicious as it is, was a bit too much to properly enjoy it to be honest. Nailed the brief though. Also, the lactose addition was extremely unnecessary given the adjuncts present.

Drinks so so. A bit green and chalky, some lemon peel. Grassy bitterness. Grows a little bit. Alright.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Cloin for the can. Just a light haze on this orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Airy pale malts, a pleasant slightly ripe creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Light ripe grape and tangy ripe fruits. A little hop spice. Airy semi dry finish brings modest citrus peel bitterness. Airy finish. Layered and tasty.
