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.

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2026. Murky darker yellow body, off-white head. Resinous and citric aroma mostly, some esters perhaps, light oatiness. NIce juicy taste, resin again, citrusy notes, light orange, bit tropical. Nice one by all means, the hop profile is clear and enjoyable.

Tap at Prague Beer Fest 2026. Murky yellow body, white head. Oniony, citric and overwhelmingly herbal hoppy aroma. Much better taste, citrusy and juicy, smooth, with some onion and low bitterness. Another good 'un from Pomona, not their best maybe.

Tap at Polepšovna for the PBF networking party. Murky pale yellow-orange body, off-white head. Stone fruit notes, lightly citric, a tad minerally, in the aroma. Minerally taste too, citrusy hoppiness, light stone fruit, simple clean malty backbone, feels nicely fresh and drinkable. A very good session beer - unsurprisingly the first to go at the party, it was "everyone's" go-to beer.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy come resinous hop bitterness.
Tidy DIPA ... raw edged and punchy.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a thin fan head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of Snickers, Bounty and hazelnut. Flavour of toffee and umami. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. I loved this.
