Pomona Island Brew Co.
Microbrewery
in Salford,
Greater Manchester,
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.

Great hop combo here dealing out citrusy fruity goodness of mandarin and grapefruit, some honeydew melon and pineapple coming through, nice florals and touch of hop spice, soft smooth pale malt, balanced bitter hoppy finish. Love these Pomona pales.

'Das Ding' in Köln is my favourite nightclub in Deutschland. Clear golden politely carbonated west coast styling. Looks good with clean hoppy-sweet sugars, not quite reaching a notable fruitiness.
gave a cheers!

I had high hopes for my team in the new football season, it's only September and they're already dashed! Hazy yellow-orange, quite juicy, more hoppy, pine nose, lesser stated but still most dominant in taste. Decent and creamyish texture.

I always seem to be another day older! Sweet hopped west coast styling, somewhat creamy aftertaste. Lots of tasty sugars here.
