Description
We didn’t start it due to a lack of good beer, or whatever people like to say in this part of their website. We wanted to do something that was awesome. We wanted to have fun, doing something that we love. We've spent a long time building the foundations of the brewery. We (think we) have the talent, and most importantly the years of experience needed to get it done. So we did it.

We have funded the company on our own, and only want to work with people that care about beer, super good beer. Our goal is to show people what is possible when you start with "make great beer" and "invite good people to drink it".

Our mission is simple but comes from the heart. Breakwater, is both brewery and bars, a place where people will congregate and experience handcrafted beers and with one another. Beer is a sociable beverage at it's heart. We are people that thrive off our community and industry partners. But besides the libations, it's a place that will be a cornerstone to the continued revitalisation Humans are essentially social creatures. We are committed to providing quality beer and superb bar experiences.

Philosophy: At Breakwater, building on our experiences from our travels, prior brewing experiences, creating beers we've brewed to award winning and celebrated standards, we challenge ourselves to continually come up with innovative, new recipes that will not only allow for a unique experience for our customers.

Cask gravity at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Citrus and tropical fruit hop aroma. A little earthy in the mouth. Light bitterness on the finish and the tangerine flavour from the Amarillo hops comes through. Decent enough APA. Fruit on the finish is good.
