We currently cuckoo brew out of a great micro brewery near Macclesfield called the Wincle Beer Company. The brewery benefits from it’s own natural water source, an idyllic location and a very knowledgeable and talented team to bounce our ideas off.
With Robert being from Cheshire and James living in Sheffield for the last 15 years the brewery is perfectly positioned in the middle of both places, meaning we are able to distribute our craft beers throughout Cheshire, Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and the surrounding areas.
Although we plan to develop a range of differing beer types our true passion lies in the pale side of the market, be it a smooth English pale ale, or a hoppy IPA. The Brew Foundation is a micro brewery specialising in brewing perfectly balanced beers.
For us “drinkability” is key: We believe that each pint should leave you wanting one more.

17/V/18 - 33cl can from a trade @ home - BB: VII/2018 (2018-712) Thanks to Lee B. for the trade!
Note: darn, another first I missed, due to the backlog... could've been first. :p
Clear bright orange beer, huge creamy yellowish head, falls down quickly, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty malty, grains, some citrus notes, bit grassy, herbal. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: citrus notes up front, soft bitterness, rather watery impression, little acidic, more bitter coming up, malty touch, little fruity. Aftertaste: very dry and bitter, malts shining through the hop bitterness, some caramel, more citrus on warming up a bit. Not bad, but not the hoppy flavour bomb you would expect with a name like this...
