About
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-conditioned at the Rook & Gaskill, York 10/3/2018. Near black with a slight, beige, head. Plain chocolate, liquorice, some toasty maltiness, leading to a dryish finish. Good.

Cask @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Paler golden with a creamy head. It's crisp hoppy with an easy-drinking texture. It has a mild fruitiness with the latter linger a short while.

Keg at Cafe Beermoth, in Manchester city centre. Hazed amber in colour. It's strong tasting but its fruitiness is still dominant here.
