ABOUT US
Beak is a craft brewery in the beautiful South Downs town of Lewes (10 mins from Brighton and 60 mins from London). Its founding mission was to create a brewery for people who take as much pleasure in good beer as in good food, with a strong focus on playful, progressive beers that showcase some of the world’s finest hops.
Since launching four years ago, it has risen to become one of the highest-rated micro-breweries in the country with more than 1,000 stockists in the UK and export partners around the world. It also runs a very well-respected international beer festival, These Hills, and operates a small barrel-ageing programme.
