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.

Cask at Bottle Bank, Holmes Chapel (not In RB yet – I’ll add it in a minute) Pours a dense black with a small beige head. Nose is basically chocolate with some malty hints. In the mouth it has an oily texture, featuring chocolate and liquorice. But also a little spicyness – maybe pear drops ? Finish is dry and bitter with some fruitiness coming through right at the end. A good solid stout.

Can split at L6, picked up online, 16/01/20. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is tangy citric zest, light wood must, vanilla, peach yoghurt, lemon rind. Taste comprises peach yoghurt, apricot, grass, light base funk, balsa wood, tarte citric zip, hay bale. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering kiss. Ok easy drinking sour … does well enough for the minimal ABV.

Vies hazy. Ziet er niet uit. Verder iets te zesty, vervelend bitter.

Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Golden-amber, it's a steady agreeable saison in both its aroma and taste, and fuller tasting through its strength.

Keg, shared with Holmen2 and Finn at Port Street Beer House. Murky grey-golden body, lacing rings down the glass from a filmy layer. Moderate smell of ripe citrus. Mid-sweet citrus flavours joined by a mango bite. Warming, rather sweet fruity end sustained by noticeable alcohol. Satisfying. (Manchester 25.01.2020).

Keg @ Gas Lamp, Manchester. Clear pale amber with citrus evident, is sticky, and over carbonated as there's too much fizz in the palate.
