Description
We are Pomona Island. We have a passion for innovation and style. We wake up each morning and strive each day to create te finest beers on the... Nah, can you imagine if we actually spoke like that? We're just beer snobs and over-appreciators who thought we would put our (small amount of) money where our (big) mouths are.

The Brewery is Nick and Ryan, who started the Gas Lamp bar in Manchester CIty Centre (where you can always find our beers!), Gaz from Marble Brewery and James from Tempest Brewery.

The beer is all stuff we like to drink. Loads of sessionable new world hoppy pales, more traditional stouts and porters. Big Juicy IPAs, and some fun experimental stuff to keep us and you interested.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, getting on for semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, a nice level of sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine, a little hop spice and bright resinous lemon lime. NS brings a good backing tangyness. A little off the beaten track and all the better for it.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth if mildly dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light bodied pale malts, a very light creamy sweetness. Hops bring soft pine, light bright juicy citrus, mild hop spice getting stronger. Light finish. Tidy, but like so many craft brews these days, stuck in a holding pattern. Liked it, drank it, won't remember it for long.
