More About Beak Parrots IPA

A juicy, hazy IPA from Beak, built around a soft combination of oats and wheat and a generous dose of Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops. At 6.5%, it's packed with ripe, saturated fruit character, with the hops bringing a wonderfully expressive mix of tropical and dark fruit. Beak describes it as a "tutti frutti" IPA, with ripe mango, blackcurrant cordial and nostalgic sweet-shop flavours at the forefront.

Meet the Producer, Beak Brewery

Beak Brewery

Style: Brewery

Beak Brewery has become one of the most exciting names in modern British craft beer by doing something surprisingly difficult: making seriously good beer without disappearing completely into hype-driven nonsense. Based in the historic Sussex town of Lewes, Beak started life as a nomadic brewing project before eventually putting down permanent roots in East Sussex, building a brewery and taproom that now feels deeply woven into the local beer scene. The whole thing carries this brilliant mix of creativity, precision and relaxed neighbourhood energy that makes people instantly want to hang around for “just one more” pint. Which rarely stays at one pint.

Founded by food and drink writer turned brewer Danny Tapper alongside brewer Robin Head-Fourman, Beak originally brewed collaborative and seasonal beers with some of the UK’s best breweries before opening their own site in Lewes. That nomadic background clearly shaped the brewery’s style. There’s a constant sense of experimentation and curiosity running through the beers, but also a very strong understanding of balance and drinkability underneath all the modern brewing techniques.

The brewery became especially well known for its hazy pale ales and IPAs, many of which have developed something close to cult status among UK beer drinkers. Soft texture, huge tropical fruit aroma, bright hop character and incredibly polished fermentation all became hallmarks of the Beak style very quickly. Their beers regularly pull huge ratings online, but thankfully never feel brewed purely for internet hype points. Even the bigger double IPAs usually stay refined and dangerously drinkable rather than turning into exhausting fruit soup halfway through the can.

What makes Beak especially interesting is that the brewery never stopped evolving beyond just hop-forward beer. Alongside the modern pales and IPAs, they’ve developed lagers, mixed fermentation projects, saisons and more experimental styles, all while maintaining a really clear house character. There’s a confidence to the brewing that suggests they genuinely care about beer as a whole rather than simply chasing whatever style currently dominates social media. Always reassuring in modern craft beer, where some breweries seem one smoothie sour away from total emotional collapse.

The taproom itself has also become a huge part of the brewery’s identity. Located in an industrial estate a short walk from Lewes town centre, it somehow manages to feel both relaxed local hangout and serious beer destination at the same time. Fresh beer, rotating street food, live music and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere have helped turn it into one of the UK’s best brewery taprooms. Importantly, it never feels intimidating or overly curated. Families, dogs, hardcore beer nerds and people who “just fancied a nice lager” all seem equally comfortable there.

There’s also something quite refreshing about how rooted Beak feels in Lewes itself. The town already has a famously strong brewing identity thanks to Harvey’s, and Beak has managed to become part of that culture while bringing a completely different modern perspective to it. Instead of competing with local tradition, they seem to complement it. Old-school Sussex brewing history sitting alongside fresh hazy IPAs and spontaneous fermentation projects somehow works beautifully together.

Ultimately, Beak feels like one of those breweries that understands modern craft beer without becoming trapped by it. Creative but grounded, experimental but balanced, and polished without losing personality. Big juicy hops, brilliant branding and enough excellent beer to quietly destroy both your fridge space and your self-control over the course of a weekend.
