We originally started contract brewing our Pale Ale, IPA and Wit beers in 2015, then in June 2017, our friends at BCI, who we met whilst home brewing in Hong Kong, acquired a minority stake in Gweilo and subsequently funded and managed the building of our flagship brewery, which opened in March 2018. We have a state of the art facility with a 3500L 4-Vessel brew deck, 115000L cellar, centrifuge, rotary canning and bottling lines and a lab. Head of Brewing Operations, Brian Leslie. Supporting him is an experienced team of brewers and packaging specialists. Now things are getting serious.
We have a Core Range of six beers, a Limited Range, a Collaboration Range and in time, we’ll be introducing barrel ageing and sour programs.
Our core range is true to our British roots, formed of session style brews ranging between 4% and 6%ABV. Keeping approachability at the heart of this range, we have a Pilsner, Pale Ale, Session IPA, Hoppy Wheat, Citrus Crusher and American IPA.
Our Limited and Collaboration ranges enable us to unleash our inner beer geeks and experiment. We intend to continually push the boundaries, brewing beers which take people on a journey through the wonderful and diverse world that is craft beer.

Canned shared with Hrabren. Hazy golden body, white head. Again, a huge lychee aroma. Lean bitter lychee minerally taste, thin, watery. Empty. Like a slightly more watery version of their pale ale...

0.33 l can shared with Marko at Valhalla. Unclear golden, small lasting creamy off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, elderflower aroma, some citrusy aroma, grainy malts underneath. Peach and banana. Aroma is rice-cake, grainy, slightly bready. Light body, moderate to high carbonation, light finish. Unusual but not bad.

Can, Valhalla with Hrabren. Hazy golden body, thick white head, uneven, creamy. Enormous lychee and elderflower sweet aroma. Lychee and malty notes in the slightly flat taste, vaguely sweetish and malty. Ending lightly minerally and dry. Okay, not more. They apparently used Cascade for an intense tropical fruit aroma - wowe.

Can, 4.2%. Fruity and papery aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour starts off quite bitter. The comes a bready and papery note followed by a refreshing, almost sweetish fruitiness. The finish is also quite bitter. Flavourful for the ABV.

Can. Pours clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of fruit and malt, with estery touches. Bitter, hoppy flavour with fruity notes and touches of malt and yeast. Bitter and estery aftertaste with fruity hints. Reasonable. Not difficult to drink and rather refreshing, but not top notch.
