Description
Piglove comes from the Venezuelan expression 'cochino amor', which is used to describe a love for something that is so big, raw and passionate that it becomes filthy. For pigs it's mud, for us it's craft beer and brewing! There's nothing we enjoy more than getting messy in the brewery, working on new ideas.
Driven by a desire to try new things, we experiment by adding a sprinkle of eccentricity to everything we make.
We have a deep admiration for the heritage of craft brewing in the UK, particularly in Yorkshire. Coming from a different culture with roots based in far-away lands, we wanted to add a little of our own wanderlust into the mix too.
We make bold and fragrant beers by adding unusual, exotic ingredients from all over the world. We're always on the look out for fresh ingredients and new ideas to mix things up.

440ml can bought at Piglove by the River (Piglove Citu) in Leeds. Pours a firm white head, opaque golden body, spotty lacing. Fresh fruity aromas of green hops with a floral scent. Zesty fruits to the taste character, orange up front, hints of herbs and earthy malts. Drying close with a bitter twist. Easy to drink. Like it. (Apartment, Leicester 12.07.2022).

Half-pint, on tap at Piglove by the River. Clingy lacing from a fading white head, unclear orange coloured body. Moderate smell of ripe fruits and herbs, a scent of orange to it. Moderately tartness to the flavour character, impacts of orange, mid-dry. Dry, and slightly tart aftertaste. Cleanser qualities. Fair enough (Leeds 06.07.2022).

Keg at The Maltings, York. Pours clear golden with a white cap. Some ingredients that I've no clue about here. Tropical, juicy fruit vibes with a piney west coast type edge. Some bitter orange marmalade. Quite sweet with low to moderate bitterness. Never a NEIPA for me. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Wasn't bad at all but just not really as stated.
