Manchester’s Cloudwater have quickly become one of the most celebrated modern craft breweries to emerge in recent years. Focusing on seasonality and freshness, the brewery’s mythical New England-inspired Double IPA (DIPA) ‘V’ series cemented their status as one of British beer’s most exciting new prospects. An array of complex styles, striking artwork and hotly-anticipated collaborations define their releases.
Burning Sky
Sussex’s Burning Sky are renowned for their contemporary approach to traditional farmhouse brewing. Their love of hop-forward pales and beautifully balanced Belgian beer styles (such as saisons, sours and lambic) has resulted in a unique seasonal range that is constantly being refined. The only question is… how much better can their delicious British beer get?

Be quick though, their beers hang around for a few weeks at the most!
Burning Sky
West Sussex
Not ones for the bandwagon, Burning Sky know exactly what they’re good at, and they do it damn well. Saison, sour and farmhouse beers are their forte, complemented with thoughtfully created pale ales & IPAs. Barrels, barns and wild yeast all play into their creative and beautifully executed beers.
