Pomona Island Brew Co.

England 🏴
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2017
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. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Crispy cooling pine over abundant candy fruits, some blueberry in there. A light and crisp finish. Tasty but perhaps a bit too heavy on the candy fruits front.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, very small and very short lived off white head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale blue, sweet enough. Light smooth pine into a fairly sweet hop fruits profile. Lots of juicy candy fruits, a little bright citrus, sweet pink grapefruit! A light and semi dry finish. Not sure this West Coast apa is supposed to be this sweet? Amused me nonetheless.

Cloudy but vivid orange with a bubbly white head and a lovely fruity aroma. Some fizz with a kick of bitterness, fruity notes and a dry bitter finish.
