Description
We love beer and we love people! We think the global craft beer community is pretty cool, with barrels of knowledge to share. That’s why we’ve partnered with craft breweries in the UK, Germany, Belgium and Croatia to brew our first 7 beers as Ad Astra.
We started Ad Astra with the goal of creating really exciting craft beers in collaboration with other like minded breweries. Although we’re the new kids on the block, our team is made up of beer-know-it-alls, all with a love of collaborative brewing.
Take a look at our beers to get a taste of what we have in store.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy peat brown pour with a thick beige head; roasted malt aroma; thin roasted grain body; and a dry toasty finish. Perhaps “inspired” by a Baltic Porter, but turning out more like a dark lager.

33ml can via Beer52: BB 4th September 2024. Drank at home on 27th October 2023. Car crash of a Bock, hazy dull brown, tanned topping. Just bloody awful, I love sweet malty Bock biers, this fell at every hurdle.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A cloudy chestnut brown pour with a fast fading beige head; malty aroma; rather thin with malty taste and some spice and yeast; then some plums and chocolate in the finish.

Can from Lowcostbeer. It pours clear golden yellow with a handsome fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and salty, biscuit, sponge cake, cornbread, dried florals, daisies and sweet doughy white bread. The taste is soft, smooth, bitter - sweet, rich tea biscuits, sponge cake, custard creams, doughy white bread, floral accents and dried leaves with a drying finish. Average body and moderate fluffy carbonation. Nothing wrong with that. Nice flavour profile and drinkability.

330ml can via Beer52: BBE May 2024. Drank at home on 19th September 2023. Slight haze in the amber body, white head. Malty and piney in nature, semi-bitter and semi-sweet. Better than I expected to be honest.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A straw coloured pour with a loose white head; leafy aroma; smooth with a malty body and lots of tea like tannins; then a gentle peppery bitterness. A soft and refreshing pale ale.

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. P:ours a hazy pale straw with a sizeable frothy white head and some lacing. There’s some generic citrus in the aroma, but not much else. Citrus sweetness again in the mouth, with a slight creaminess to the texture. After a short while floral hops start coming through followed closelt by pine and grapefruit. Finish is a little sharp. It’s OK – I wonder who really brewed it ?
