Our take on Lost Pier Brewing…
If the artwork’s happy branding wasn’t clue enough, Lost Pier Brewing are a brand focussed on fun and approachability, and their core range is made up of easy drinking favourites that aim to please by not being overly complex.
The wine background of the 3 person team brings together industry knowledge and good palettes, and also explains Lost Pier’s niche Assemblage range, a merging of wine and beer styles, and their signature Malbec Stout.
Their beers in keg are distributed to pubs right across the South Coast and in Brighton you can reliably find Growler fills of their range at Quaff Wine in 5 ways and Hove.
The Watchmakers Arms and Jolly Brewer are also known to stock their beers on rotation and Lost Pier Brewing have had good success getting their cans into many restaurants across town.
A bit of history…
In 2017 Lost Pier Brewing started life gypsy brewing in the cellar of the Pelham Arms in Lewes, the original home of ABYSS Brewing, until moving to the Missing Link brewery near Crawley where they currently produce 3000-4000 litres of beer per month.
The fun and friendly branding is designed by pop artist Mr Phil, after Co-Director and Head Brewer Dan had spotted a mural in town and approached him to create some can artwork. The brand officially launched with their Beach Session IPA at a big party at Quaff Wine.
Dan tells us that for now the plan is to remain gypsy brewing at MIssing Link, but the ultimate ambition is to both work towards a brewery of their own in Brighton, and open a tap room in the city that caters for fans of both beer and good wines.
In the near future look out for more of their Assemblage hybrid beer and wine creations, including; sours, chardonnay infused IPAs and an Imperial Stout version of the Malbec Stout.
How local are they?
Lost Pier Brewing are primarily brewed at Missing Link near Crawley though early 2020 made their first Cask ale at Loud Shirt’s brewery in Kemptown, Brighton. There are plans for more based on the success.
Our favourites 🍺
A clear favourite in the Lost Pier Brewing core range is their APA Actually. Hoppy and piney in aroma, light but with a smooth and mellow rye malt sweetness. There’s a lingering hoppy bitterness finishing with moorish mineral earthiness. A really sessionable beer at 5%.
The other one to mention is the Malbec Stout, because where other craft brewers are pushing stouts and porters into the dessert arena, this leans the other way with dry and tart blackcurrant combining with the intensely dark bitter roasted flavours of the stout.
Plum puree softens the blow a little and you really get that sense of drinking a dry red wine with lots of tannin and a chalky finish. All in all it’s a dry, slow drinker at 6.3% and niche for fans of dark, tart beers.
