For years he worked on his recipes, together with friends at a number of the best breweries in the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2020 the project found a permanent home in Lewes, in the English county of East Sussex. Beak also runs a taproom and a street food canteen there. Lewes has its own beer history: in the nineteenth century, a large part of the town's prosperity came from brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHoppy IPAs and a wide range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the brewery itself, Beak is best known for hop-forward IPAs. But it doesn't stop there: the range runs from fresh, clear pilsners to lavish imperial stouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own webshop, for example, there is a gift pack with Old Fashioned Impy Stout and coffee from Tate. That shows that Beak likes to brew heavier and darker beers outside the IPAs as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBeak at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Hoptimaal we have had four IPAs from Beak, all in 44 cl and with a strength of 8–10%. On Untappd, Beak Greens, Beak Mesa, Beak Yeahnoyeah and Beak Levels are rated highest. They are out of stock at the moment, so check the brewery page to see what's available now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink these strong IPAs as fresh as possible. Hops are volatile and quickly lose aroma. Store the beer cool and serve it chilled, but not ice cold, so the hops and the fruity side come into their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--faq--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does Beak come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeak is based in Lewes, in East Sussex in England.
