Me recent visit to the Magic Rock Brewery

In March, we were visited what is probably one of the most exciting breweries at this moment in Europe (better: in Europe right now): Magic Rock. Located in Huddersfield, in the county of West Yorkshire, Magic Rock has increased their production volume, are have opened a tap room and they have started canning their beers, which has helped to distribute them around Europe and the US. Magic Rock brewed the its first batch in 2011, this was the awesome Cannonball IPA, and now they can’t stop to brewing. The first batches were bottled by hand, but now they can presume to have their own canning line.
During the visit, also, we were talking about the prices of the beer and why a beer on in a keg is more expensive than in a cask. Basically, each keg costs around 12 quid (better: pounds) and it can not be reused, so 30 litres of beer will cost around 12 quid more than in a cask. Moreover, you need special components to fill the keg. Casks are reusable, easy to fill up and you don’t need special components to work with them, just a hose to trespass transfer the beer into the cask.

If you have the chance, Magic Rock is running gives brewery tours every Saturday and includes a half beer on from a keg or pint of from a cask. If you are lucky, you could may drink some awesome stuff like the Bearded Lady Dessert Edition, but also the Cannonball IPA or the Salty Kiss Gose. Also, you can take away the beer with in the growler that they sell in the tap room.

They have around 8 conical fermenters and are still increasing their production volume. I am pretty sure that this rock is pretty magic.
