We’re turning five! It seems like only yesterday we were putting our first brew into barrel as young, fresh faced lads. It's a joy that we've still got that same passion and drive to create the best beers we possibly can as we did then and we're incredibly proud to be able to share them with you.

Today’s releases are starkly different but represent our approach to beer. Both utilise British ingredients throughout, from the malt to the hops and most importantly the ingredients used to flavour the finished beer; one commercially grown, the other foraged from the wild.

We've been stepping up our production this year and we're really happy to be starting to release more in keg out to trade. You should be able to see Balance on taps more and more over the next twelve months starting with these two stunners: New Moon & Spectral Diffusion.
Two Balance draught beers in matching glassware. New Moon is our take on a gose, funky, zippy and refreshing. Spectral Diffusion is a spectrum hopped Saison which is all tropical goodness!

🤫 Keep it quiet 🤫 Today we’re over at Silent Brew Co. and we’re brewing something outside our usual funky stuff…together we’ve come up with a recipe of all British malt and hops to create a Golden Rye Ale. The grist is actually quite similar to our Amber Saison, with Maris Otter, rye, Cara & wheat.
