Hop Union Brewery
We started life as a traditional cask beer brewery with open-top fermenters. After 16 years we decided to build a state-of-the-art brewery and refresh our brand. We bought a porperty, installed drainage, laid flooring, built a taproom and commissioned new brewing equipment. Our equipment has been custom-made for us. It has allowed us to ability to plan and create all the styles of beers we had only dreamt about at our previous location.
We built a Taproom so we could be closer to the community and see how our beer is being enjoyed in real-time. Our Pilot Kit will give us the ability to host special tasting events to extract some intuitive feedback from the wider community. We drilled down to get 100% authentic Bristol water. We installed solar to offset our carbon footprint. All waste produced at the brewery is put back into the ecosystem through either cattle feed or fertilizer.
We are striving to be a great employer and a great place to work. We want to produce all types of beer that are as good as the best in their class. We want to give back to the community as much as we can, we want to unite people in taste. Most importantly, we want people to have fun.
