Two Flints Talk of the Town Hazy Pale

Two Flints arrived at the point where British craft beer had largely figured out how to make modern IPA. The challenge then became making it exceptionally well.

Based in Windsor, the brewery has quickly developed a reputation for highly polished pale ales, IPAs and lagers that combine contemporary brewing techniques with an almost obsessive attention to detail. The beers often look soft and approachable, but there is a lot of technical precision sitting underneath.

Hop-forward styles naturally dominate much of the range. Citrus, peach, tropical fruit and delicate bitterness all appear regularly, supported by clean fermentation and remarkably smooth texture. The brewery also produces excellent lagers that show the same focus on balance and refinement.

What makes Two Flints stand out is restraint. The beers rarely feel overloaded or gimmicky. Everything seems carefully calibrated, which is often what separates good modern brewing from merely fashionable brewing.

A lot of breweries can make hazy beer. Fewer consistently make hazy beer this clean.
