Description
Cardiff Based Craft Brewery. Making surreal beers since August 2019.

Flowerhorn Brewery was set up in the summer of 2019 by two friends, Andrew and Arran. Shortly after meeting through mutual friends and both sharing a love of all things beer Andrew landed a job in a brewery and when Arran finished university 9 months later he jumped straight in to the industry as well. Each with two years experience under their belt they began picturing and developing exactly what their ideal brewery would look like. They spent some money on a homebrew kit and started brewing in Arran’s parent’s garage.

Fast forward: Before we knew it around came our first birthday and we celebrated by picking up the keys to our brand new unit at the Bridge Studios. Currently we’re waiting for our bespoke 5bbl kit to be manufactured and delivered and in the meantime we’re continuing creating and innovating with new styles and flavours ready to serve to you in our brand new tap room before the end of the year.

Can from BrewDog & Friends. It pours cloudy pale golden/blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, pineapple chunks, quite juicy, passion fruit, tangy apricot jam, some green danky vibes and floury bread. The taste is pretty much no bitterness, a touch of dryness, green, weedy, danky, pineapple, apricot, papaya, gummy candy, spice, floury bread and touch of alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Not bad, but wouldn't stand out in a crowd of hazy IPAs.
