Description
State of Kind Brew Co launched in spring 2021. As you can imagine, it’s taken a fair bit of planning, and yes, you’re right, we basically started a brewery in the middle of a global pandemic. This isn’t quite as crazy as it sounds. In a funny way, it’s ideal: if we can make it work now, we can make it work any time, whatever the world throws at us. We’re launching first as a gypsy brewer, with four gorgeous core beers created using spare capacity on the premises of some kind, creative and brilliant brewing friends. But we don’t plan to stay on the move for long. Once the pubs have fully re-opened and we’ve recovered from the celebrations, the plan is to launch our very own state-of-the-art brewery and taproom. Hopefully, if all goes to plan, by the time Christmas 2021 rolls around you can come and say cheers in person...

It opened its own brewery and taproom in Summer 2022.

Can. Mildly hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. The trio of hops bring q pine and a little savoury skunk, getting mildly bitter. Nice light tropical fruits, a touch of red fruit candy. A little juicy bright citrus on the back end. Crisp finish. Nicely brewed and very drinkable apa.
