DEYA is meaningless. The English spelling of ‘Deia’, a beautiful village in Mallorca, founder Theo chose a name that had little to no connotations, and he and his team have been imbuing it with meaning for the last decade.
It’s a rare thing to be able to introduce the brewery of a friend, but that’s what we’re doing with batch no. 045. Meet Reece, founder of London-based Bianca Road Brewery.
Naming yourself Staggeringly Good certainly shows intent. batch no. 044 makes the relatively short journey from Portsmouth to bring their confidently brewed beers to our fair isle.
We went north for batch no. 043, but not very far. In fact, we’ve not even crossed the Thames, remaining in London to introduce Battersea’s Mondo Brewing Company. Founded by Todd Matteson and Thomas Palmer in 2014, the two American-born brewers originally met at London Fields Brewery, where they quickly formed a friendship over a mutual love and respect for great beer.
February's feature brewery was founded by a trio with a serious love of boardsports. Their appreciation for the outdoors informs their ongoing commitment to minimising their impact, their growth plans and even their name.
We’re not sure you’ll find a better brewing pedigree anywhere else in the UK. batch no. 041’s Sureshot are doing incredible things in the belly of Manchester. The co-founder of January’s feature brewery, Sureshot, passed through several of the UK's best brewerues before choosing to go it alone in 2022.
Founded by Stuart Winstone and Jasper Tupman in 2018, the two met whilst working at Wild Beer Co – a brewery many craft beer drinkers will recognise – and were the company’s first employees. A conversation in January 2018 acted as the catalyst the pair needed to break out on their own and, ten months later, Yonder became a physical space in the Mendip Hills, Somerset.
Started in a "living room-sized" pub in Brighton, Hand Brew Co have gone from strength-to-strength since their inception in 2016. They were so brilliantly generous with their time and the telling of their story that we haven’t the desire nor the need to intervene. Here, co-founder Clark Left tells their story in his own words, from start to finish.
A byproduct of lockdowns and furloughs, Tartarus is a Leeds-based brewery run by couple Jack and Jordan. Together they’re picking up the craft brewing baton for the city.
Winemakers turned brewers, co-founders Ben and Sam have spent a decade growing The Three Legs into a cult brewery making beer that’s anything but “brown”.
Three years in, we’re delighted to a) still be doing this, & b) continuing to introduce new UK breweries that we think are exceptional. Rivington is responsible for our latest beer selections.
