The dream of a long term brewer with a love of both punchy hop forward pales and of the beautiful Belgian beer tradition. Burning Sky are a brewers brewery with a talented team. Whilst industrial units are convenient, they seldom inspire, so the brewery instead chose to locate themselves within the beautiful and inspirational South Downs, occupying refurbished farm buildings in a slightly quirky village. A true farmhouse brewery. Producing their first beer in the Autumn of 2013, they were rewarded far beyond their expectations – with head brewer Mark being voted ‘Brewer of the Year 2014’ by The Guild of British Beer Writers, and the brewery being named 4th Best New Brewery in the World 2014 by Ratebeer. Whilst ambitious, they have no desire to move out of, or beyond the buildings they occupy, instead they are investing heavily in the areas in which they wish to grow. They were the first craft brewery in the UK to install oak foudres for ageing beers and have completed the restoration of a Grade 2 listed building to expand upon their barrel ageing program. The beginning of 2017 saw them install a bespoke coolship in this space (a traditional vessel used for cooling hot wort) which will be used to produce spontaneously fermented beers. All the while they continue to refine and pay particular attention to their core beers, making sure that we all have something refreshing to relax and dream with at the end of the day.
