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.
JAbrams72 (12812) ticked Carrot Cake Ale from Gweilo Beer 4 years ago
Not sure about the carrot, but there is raisin and toasted nut, some spice and a somewhat strange cream cheese finish.
Watermelon is always tough to make a good beer from and this is no exception. I’m getting the dragon fruit, but otherwise none of the advertised notes are clear—no watermelon, no chili, no salt, not especially sour. It is light and refreshing.

Mainly sweet rather than sour. Lime, lactose, biscuity
