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.

500ml bottle Turner, London Road - A decent enough flowery fruity nose, nice hit of hops, very sweet citrus in the first taste, easing out to long dry finish. Not bad at all, nice refreshing but a bit sticky.

500ml bottle from Turners Sheffield - Clear gold, flat and uninspiring looking. Nose misses the whole APA brief, there’s some sweet citrus there, not much else in the way of hoppiness. Taste misses by even more, and too thin on the mouthfeel. Bit over ambitious for a first brew.

Bottle. Turner’s, Sheffield. Clear gold. Headless. Grassy hop. Some privet leaf. Pale, bready malts. Not the least bit APA. Taste is grainy sweet. Some buttery thing going on. Medium bodied. Buttery, grainy sweet finish. Not for me.
